CODES 121 was our intro class that consisted of all our general education classes that we skipped out on. In this class I got to connect and learn more about all of the students that are involved with CODES as well as explore the city where we will be conducting all of our research from. I can’t explain enough how much I have enjoyed this class. To me, our CODES students and faculty members have all become family. Comfort is a very important concept when working with small classes, and I’m glad that all of us feel our space can be their safe space. I’m so lucky to be working side by side with amazing people who want what is best for each other and our society.
