What traits do you most admire in colleagues and peers from your class?
Collaboration, respect and bringing diverse perspectives to the table. We all took the DISC personality test, which helped us to better understand our different characters. This awareness also strengthened our ability to work together and brought a touch of fun to our interactions.
