“
Tremendous social awareness came through in all of these
presentations. - Estée Lauder Judge
I like that concept; don't be afraid to take advantage of
opportunities, you never know where it will take you… A step closer
to your career, anything! - Student
It’s time to take skin care to the next level! - Student
When everyone started to communicate with one another, that’s
when things started to come together. Collaboration is so important.
