Thoughts about Joint Degree Program (JDP):The Joint Degree Program provides a valuable forum for similarly-driven students to share interests and passions, to challenge each others' assumptions, and to develop strong professional networks. I plan to continue to avail myself of the Lecture series and hope to stay connected to the Program by serving as a mentor for future Joint Degree students.
