SMASH offers students the unique opportunity to learn advanced math and science topics in an environment where much is expected from them.  I believe that holding all students, regardless of background, to a high standard for work quality and work ethic is the key to their success.  I was floored at how SMASH has accomplished this and am eager to have them expand this opportunity to as many students as possible. - R.
