Jarret
"I liked that the program gave me an opportunity to take classes in the School of Education, but also in the School of Information and Library Science, Kenan-Flagler Business School, and the Computer Science Department. I also did my internship in the makerspaces in the Kenan Science Library. I like how I got to pull these bits of information and experience from all these different areas of campus together in a really cool way!"
