ChoiceCenter’s vision to transform our world by being outward focused and creating an experiential learning environment that lasts a lifetime is truly unique. After attending the courses, I saw experiential growth, both personally and professionally – soon after I raised the funds to start a video series on water security and the connection to food and energy. I have many lifelong friends who are graduates, and I can’t help but smile with love each time I set foot in the university.
