Abstract
In the years 2013-2014 we held a weekly seminar in which every supported student gave presentations at least once (but usually twice or more) per semester. This gave the students opportunities to learn and develop presentations skills, which will help them later in their careers. It also gave them opportunities to work together in a tight-knit group setting. This learning was augmented by regular, one-on-one weekly meetings with their advisors. Many of the students wrote professional research papers published in peer-reviewed journals, presented their research at conferences, and many won prestigious university and even national awards.
