"One of my favorite things about the program is being able to be in personal contact with these amazing human rights defenders around the world. I'm speaking with them face to face through this online program using amazing software. And that's the coolest thing about this program to me, expanding the network of individuals that hopefully in the future we can all work with to make change in the world." – M.A. student.
