Regarding an experiential learning program for undergraduate students:

“Learning by Leading completely changed what path I was going to take after graduating from college. Since starting this program, it has opened my eyes to the possibilities in this career field, and I have found a master's program that is perfect for me, as well as my dream internship. If not for this program, I never would have thought to research these topics.”
