Why do you enjoy working with professional degree students?

I’ve worked with professionals from various fields such as K12 teachers, undergraduates, postgraduates, and the public throughout my career. This has led me to a desire to assist the next generation of teachers, tech experts, and leaders in creating a better future. Professional degree students have a unique perspective on the world, and we can all benefit from considering their views and experiences. It is an honor to collaborate with professional degree students.
