In the four years of my degree, I have been exposed to different spiritual disciplines, authors, forms of worship, and ways of connecting with God that have helped me to grow a much stronger, more mature, and more relational faith. On top of that, I’ve had the opportunity to be a teaching assistant and have gained the experience of teaching over ten 75-minute class blocks, contributing directly toward my career goals.” —Chloe Plett, Applied Leadership
