One of the required classes for all students in the certificate program is the digital brown bag class– and for a good reason. In this class, I have learned key essential life skills such as how to manage your credit as well as the basics of health insurance in the United States; no other class at this school has taught me anything with as many real life applications as this. In addition, the weekly guest speakers have impacted me with their wisdom from their respective industries and have helped me see all the various applications this certificate can have as well as the connections I have. Overall, I have gotten a sneak peak into the real world and how I may be able to fit in and use my skills after I graduate.
