“My greatest takeaway is that as you work on different projects, it is essential to reflect on the skills you have gained, how to integrate the new skills into your next project, and what to improve on. That is the best way to grow as a person and professional and adapt to the changes that one may face.” —Caroline Mutura, Master of Science in Project Management ’22
