Alumnus Evan Gildenblatt said 91²Ö¿â’s peace and conflict studies program intially appealed to him because it was so broadly applicable to everyday life.

Victoria Bylsma said it only took about two hours after a mentor suggested she look into a graduate degree in public health for her to know what she wanted to do with her career.
