What are students saying?
“I really enjoyed the readings and assignments we did in the course. I don’t think I would have been motivated on my own to actually do some of the things we did such as doing a practice interview or creating a Meliora Collective profile, so the fact that we did them together pushed me to go out of my comfort zone and try them out.”
“It is a course that can help you ask yourself the hard questions that we usually avoid asking ourselves about our careers or the lives that we want to lead. These questions are good pointers and can help direct us in making the important decisions about our lives and careers”
“I really enjoyed this class because it allowed me the opportunity to take the time out of my very busy schedule to focus on my future and it really helped me to identify what is important to me and what I want to make sure is included in my future.”
