What our students are saying:

鈥淓very course is so powerful because you can see how much the students and faculty care about making a difference in the world. I love how the Mortenson Center emphasizes crucial 'soft skills'听like how to interact with diverse communities and listen to others, as I think STEM degrees often focus too much on purely technical skill development. I think the Mortenson Center has helped to make me a very well-rounded engineer!鈥 鈥 L.听Benkelman, MS 2024
