Growing Awareness of Systems & Society
"I learned how outside agents found within the socioeconomic, political, educational
and health spectrum can affect the economy of the community I am encouraged to serve.
This information gave me insightful perspectives on how and why my community seems
to just be surviving instead of thriving…There is no doubt my time at MPC has laid
a great foundation for an improved future for myself and my community."
