"I’d argue that it is perhaps our biggest strength as a school -- it enables computer scientists, sociologists, lawyers, and economists to share the same canvas, and work on some of the most pressing challenges facing our society, together. " - Suraj Nair (Ph.D.)

"To address our current context, we need to use slow thinking, using passion as a tool for change, and envision this context as an opportunity to do good, instead of seeing it as a barrier." - Juliana Gomez Consuegra (MIDS)

"We’re graduating into a world that doesn’t fit clean labels. Interdisciplinary thinking isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. And it’s what the world needs right now, even though the job market doesn’t seem to realize this, yet." - Miguel Rodriguez-Arias (MIMS)
