Testimonials
"My son participated in FER as a seventh grader and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. The fair provided an invaluable opportunity to meet and get positive feedback from Drew students and faculty, all of whom were so encouraging and engaging. The program itself was fun and well organized. He was extremely proud of his hard work and, as a parent, I was thrilled to see him so enthusiastic about science!"
