“My favorite thing about Scheller is the community. My peers are diverse, intelligent, and a lot of fun to be around. I’ve had the opportunity to get to know classmates on a personal, professional, and academic level. I’ve learned just as much from them as I have from the coursework itself, and I know that in the future, I will be leaning on some of them as I navigate my career.”
