Define Your Brand
“I’ve made a conscious effort to be out two nights a week. I’ll go to a jazz club or poetry slam. I started playing capture the flag in the city, and made a lot of friends through that.” - Alex Yellen, Lang Student

You are led to discover how your ideas fit together and why they matter to you. This can develop your thinking on where you want to be, and how you want to make a difference.
