    Survey response from a previous St. Olaf participant:

    “Check it out! You may find that it isn’t for you, but the time wouldn’t be wasted because the company was great! It’s also always useful to slow down and reflect,
    no matter the exact way you go about it, so this was a good reminder of that as well.”
