Senator-At-Large
|
William Cardoza |
As a Classics major studying Latin and Ancient Greek, an idea sparked in my mind to propose the establishment of a study abroad program at MPC - Lobos Abroad. Experiences such as these would help students become more employable developing soft skills that will be ever more important in our AI-driven world. This can help them not only in preparation for future careers but also to better serve our community. |
