Student Testimonials 

"To be honest, I wondered if I needed this class at first. However, looking at the class schedule and taking the first class, I think this class is one of the essential classes to successfully graduate GRC now. I hope that I can build relationships with people who have a similar goal, learn about different culture and GRC, and achieve my goals."
