"This course was not like any other course I have taken. The vulnerability and support expressed by each student in this class were impeccable. Everyone had brought respect towards one another and heard out everybody's thoughts and ideas. The professor helped significantly with creating this supportive platform. I will take these skills with me in my everyday life."

"This was one of the best classes I have ever taken. It provided me with tools and resources to communicate better with others in charged situations and how to navigate conversations in order to create more positive and learning conducive environments."

"This course was eye-opening. I have never experienced such open hearts and vulnerability within a group of students. We all were there for different reasons but were rewarded in similar ways. We all learned a little bit more about ourselves, and about each other. We were introduced to new communication skills and listening skills all of which were not easy to practice. We were put out of our comfort zones and rewarded tremendously for it. The support system within this class is real, I recommend it to every student no matter what you are studying for."

“I felt listened to and appreciated. Even if my classmates and I had different opinions and beliefs, we still respected each other despite our differences.”

“This class gave me the opportunity to hear from a diverse range of perspectives, some of which I do not get to hear in my every-day life. Hearing multiple viewpoints helped me further understand and realize my own position.”

“My experience was unprecedented by any classroom experience I had had before. Rather than simply reading about topics that would challenge us to grow, we were provided with opportunities to actively engage with these issues in ways that empowered us to be vulnerable, humble, and just.”
