Hanover student Sara Bailey attended TPC’s Fall 2010 semester program.  “While attending TPC I was constantly challenged through my classes and internship, and the City Living component of the program.  In my classes I was encouraged to look at things differently and express my own opinion, and was able to strengthen my written and oral communication skills through class discussion, presentations, and papers.  To read more about her experience please click here.
