Testimonials from Past Cohorts

"I joined the Fall 2024 cohort after studying abroad in Denmark, where I first became interested in sustainability. The experience truly exceeded my expectations. I met so many inspiring fellows, and the mentor was incredibly professional and supportive. What stood out the most was the sense of community — everyone was kind, motivated, and open. Sometimes, the people you meet and the environment you're in are even more valuable than the content itself. I'm really grateful to have been part of it."
