“I will tell anyone who will listen: MSSM was where I discovered who I was and who my people were. Obviously I’ve grown a lot since then as well, but it was MSSM that put me on that trajectory of personal growth. Academically, it was my achievements at MSSM that got me into Brown, and professionally it was the network of friends and colleagues from the school that landed me in my current position.” - Dr. Jason Dark ‘04
