During our meeting with professor Vald\u00e9s yesterday, we discussed a wide range of topics that\u00a0have shaped our projects and interests. Everybody took something truly transformative away from our discussion and it will be exciting to see how the shared insights manifest in our projects.<\/p>\n
It is also worth mentioning that professor Vald\u00e9s is very generous with her time and she has offered her support to everybody in the class. She extends an invitation to students who are interested in further discussion or have additional questions to email her.\u00a0There is something for everybody so do take advantage of this opportunity!<\/p>\n
