Will Dawson is now Councillor for the East End Ward of Dundee, and Convenor of City Development for Dundee City Council.
He says: "We were the first year to try Access Summer School in 1993. I remember it as a really good experience. It gave me an indication as to what university life would be like and what was required to a certain extent. I met some amazing people and still keep in touch with some of them to this day. It was really different from school and that was one of the things that I liked about it. You were treated as an adult experiencing new things and learning at the same time. I still use some of the skills gained from my time at the summer school in my current positions."
