To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
I absolutely loved the insight. I particularly loved it because of the diverse range of people I got to meet. Their diverse backgrounds, their diverse experiences was an eye-opening experience. I also really liked the structure of the program. However, I do feel like the more interactive sessions like the ones on Wednesday and Thursday were more useful to us.
