“Whether it’s through VR to get us warmed up for the day, or break-out boxes to help us prepare for our midterms and finals, every day is something new in regards to how we’re learning our material. It’s not the usual way of learning. I believe that’s one of the many reasons why the material sticks with you. It doesn’t go in one ear and out the other, it clicks. That’s what I love about the Active Learning Ecosystem, you never leave the classroom wondering ‘Why in the world did we just do that?’ everything about it makes sense.”

— Nya Dorsey, Fourth Year, Communications Major
