“What I most appreciate about the MA in HRE program are my fellow classmates. The classroom experience is full of diversity, rich experiences and perspectives. Professors provide a safe space and thought-provoking material that allows for dialogue and discussion that further delves into the complicated and important issues that need addressing.I would tell a prospective or new HRE-MA student to take advantage of all the wonderful resources and opportunities that the program has to offer. The program, for me, has become more than just a schooling experience, but an experience that has allowed me to become a part of a community that shares similar passions and is actively working to make the human rights vision a reality.” - Sabrina James, Human Rights Education MA Alumna
