… [Scholars] offered many different ways of learning beyond conventional means. It offered an unmatched blend of unique speakers, interesting reads, effective simulations, self-reflection, educational study abroad trips, as well as the trip/course to the West Coast and more local educational experiences that are not found in other programs.
