What Students Are Saying

“I really loved the conversations that happened and the camaraderie that was created between the class.”

“I have a lot of appreciation for what Cornerstone is trying to achieve. I do believe that growth happens exponentially when we begin to embrace the ambiguities of our complex world. I hope cornerstone can find a way to be implemented in the greater culture of UMass.”

“My favorite thing about this class was having a place to discuss my thoughts. I thought all the texts were very interesting, so I love being able to talk about my opinions and hear what others had to say. I loved this class!”
