“The MPM program was pivotal in not only aiding my entry into reputable establishments like CHG but also equipping me to spearhead transformative projects at places like ISED. The collective wisdom of professors and peers from the program continues to influence my trajectory. If given a choice again, the MPM program would still be my pick.”
