"Learning by doing, in my opinion, is a far more fascinating, memorable, and personal approach to education. There is a lot of accessible information that we may read in books or obtain through various online media or digital channels, but none of it is useful until we can apply it to our daily lives. Experiential learning promotes knowledge retention and the development of success skills and I appreciate that Husson University encourages and supports this method"
