It was a pleasure to have my first participation in the Riipen Project with Marissa from The Humphrey Group Inc. A big thanks is in order for the team’s dedication to students learning through continued support and constructive feedback as they worked on open projects. The ultimate goal of providing our students with practical work experience through projects that emphasizes the importance of learning by doing was attained as students could transfer their knowledge to actual work with the open projects. Students shared their positive experience with Marrisa and her team and spoke very proudly about the mentoring and supportive relationship they had while completing their projects during the semester. I certainly hope for future opportunities to collaborate with The Humphrey Group!
