Student Quote

  • Jessica Chen
  • "Personally, STS has changed
  • the way I think about business
  • and the rapid nature of change
  • within, and outside of
  • organizations. For those
  • interested in the technology
  • industry, this class is a great history lesson in the schools
  • of thought behind production.  Overall, the knowledge I gained
  • from STS is extremely versatile and can be applied to fields
  • beyond technology. I have
  • learned that it is critical to
  • always develop human talent,
  • technology, and the relationship
  • between these two components
  • because the ability to be flexible
  • when confronted with innovation
  • and change defines sustainability
  • and long-term success."
