On The Academic Experience: "The flexibility of the curriculum at Fletcher is something to marvel at. There is always something to do at Fletcher. Campus always feels busy, but with purpose. Due to the flexibility of the curriculum I have taken all of the classes I wanted this semester and feel that I have a good balance between my academic commitments and the myriad social and professional opportunities open to Fletcher students. I especially love when I can make reference to or draw connections between what I am learning in my classes and the work of guest speakers and others at Fletcher."

On Fletcher's Career Services: "As a career changer, I was very invested in the required Professional Development Program. The ability to interact with your fellow students who have been in the field, doing the work that you want to be doing, while getting world class career advice cannot be surpassed. The resources are amazing. The opportunity to have your resume collaboratively and constructively critiqued for maximum effectiveness in addition to being able to practice your elevator pitch so as to shine on career trips truly makes professional development at Fletcher one of a kind."
