Co-Director Kubler called on the HNC students to make the
most of their time at the HNC. He encouraged the new students to “be willing to
take risks and engage in what some have called ‘uncomfortable learning.’
Believe me, you learn more if you try something new, than if you keep doing
what you’ve done before. ”
