Senior Jodi Nelson, an RA in Heritage Hall who has attended all of ihe sessions, remarked that this is an extremely profitable program thai challenges each upper- classman to think differently. She said each session "sparked many hours of conversation among residents." Nelson added that her favorite part of these meetings was the relevance of each issue discussed. After each session, upperclassmen walk away with a practical challenge regarding life after Bethel. Upcoming topics include career life in January and finances and budgeting in February.
