    πŸ’œ In their own words...
    • What started as an intellectual challenge turned into a deeply personal mission. To my professors and mentors: Thank you for holding space for both curiosity and doubt. Your encouragement gave me the courage to explore, challenge, and grow.

      MA Graduate
    • As a copywriter, I’ve spent the past few years deep in the creative side of communication, and I love it there. But I kept feeling the itch to see more. To understand the systems, strategies, and stories shaping the bigger picture. This program gave me that window.
