Students Say

“Having six mentors in the graduate co-instructors, plus the professor, has been helpful for us in answering questions and getting advice about career opportunities. It has opened doors for us to get connected to Rollins and the CDC and learn from people who’ve been there.”—Andrew Mitchell 16C
