Alumni quotes
I can personally attest that the depth and scope of this program is what prepared me to be able to subsequently deliver real-world projects among migrant workers in Myanmar & Thailand toward the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals from the human/humane perspective. Not only did I learn from classroom lectures, but I had also gained much intellectually from my classmates who came from many different parts of the world - each bringing their own diverse yet invaluable background, knowledge, and experiences to the course that was so personally empowering.
