IMPACT

“We are so fortunate to have such a well preserved gem in the midst of our bustling city. With so many open and eager community partners willing to share their expertise, I can’t think of a better classroom. These experiential opportunities lead to the development of tremendous skill sets, networking opportunities, and lifelong friendships for our students.”
