Memorable Quote: “My biggest takeaway was really just seeing that process kind of laid out [in the Workbook]. I think coming in, I feel like the biggest obstacle for me was really understanding where to go to look for research. It seems there's not like a set way to just go about doing it. ”John Logue, Freshman.
