"This institute was an excellent way to get to know our fellow peers, which will probably lead the field in the coming decades. This goes without even mentioning the importance of meeting the leading names in the field, seeing them as colleges without any formal "tuxedo" barriers ready to answer and hear every idea or question we have."

"The Institute was a unique opportunity to learn from some of the best in neuropsychology, and the beautiful setting of Xylocastro was an added bonus.   I would highly recommend the Summer Institute to a fellow student."

"Although I thoroughly enjoyed the classes and learning more about the topics of those classes, the multicultural experience was the most valuable to me. I don't think I would have ever been able to learn so much without being immersed into such a diverse group.  I think this has to be one of the most valuable and appreciated experiences of my education."
