HEAR FROM A FORMER STUDENT
"This semester is crafted and procured by well-connected, kind, intelligent, and deeply committed people. You will learn about politics, urban planning, and anthropology, and you will see what that means for people in the world. You will understand the impact a person can/cannot have and why. You will be asked to examine every part of yourself, but you do so in the space and comfort of people who share a similar quest for learning."
