Student Work
Where the work leads.
Our students don't complete projects for an application. They pursue questions that matter to them, and many are still pursuing them years later. Here are a few of their stories.
Science & Medicine
Julia: Changing who gets to do science
Julia noticed how few women were going into science, and she decided to change that. At Harvard, she founded Scientista, which grew into a network of campus chapters supporting women in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine.
Today Julia is a physician.
Service & Social Change
A library across an ocean
She learned that orphanages in Japan had almost no English-language books, so she built a project to change that: collection drives, international shipping, and partners on both sides of the Pacific.
The work won the Princeton University Prize in Race Relations. Admitted to Dartmouth and Penn, she chose Penn, where she studies political science.
Public Voice
Harry: From freshman ambition to the national stage
As a high school freshman, Harry wanted to be President. Since then, his path has run through a degree from NYU, a visit to the Oval Office, a commercial made with President Obama, and a place among the most-followed political voices of Gen Z online.
Laboratory Research
Nicole: From the lab bench to the mentor's chair
Nicole began laboratory research with Dr. Feit in high school, and her experiments won awards. She earned a bachelor's in neurobiology at the University of Wisconsin and a master's in molecular and integrative physiology at the University of Michigan.
Today she mentors ILP students as they design laboratory and community science projects.
Music & Performance
Carly: A voice that found its stage
As a child, Carly performed on Broadway in Les Misérables. In eighth grade, she finished second on The X Factor. She went on to graduate from the University of Southern California, and today she has a music career in Los Angeles.
Alumni
Years later
Some of Dr. Feit's earliest students recently came back to tell her that the work they did together as teenagers changed the direction of their lives.
Former students stay connected through the ILP Alumni Community.
Families
Parents are always partners in the process
In this photo, Dr. Feit meets with a group of parents to celebrate student accomplishments at our annual ILP Alumni Community Hot Pot Party celebrating Chinese New Year.
