Q: What is the most memorable course that you took at Lerner?

Q: What was your favorite signature UD experience?

 

Dribbon: My favorite UD experience was a cornhole tournament I competed in. Although I did not win, it was fun to compete in the tournament with all my friends.

 

Q: What does being a “Lifelong Lerner” mean to you?
