Testimonials
“I chose to come to Ross for many reasons, one of them being the Sanger Leadership Center offerings. When talking to prospective students, so many people mentioned participating in or attending Story Lab. I attended my first Story Lab and it exceeded all my expectations. I loved being able to support my friends and classmates, while also hearing their personal stories. Story Lab allowed me to get to know my peers better, while also giving them the dedicated space and coaching support to craft an authentic story. I am looking forward to participating and attending over the next two years!”
Indhu Venugopal, WMBA ’25
Testimonials
“I had a preconceived notion that only native English speakers can craft stories and sound like a natural storyteller. However, Story Lab helped me transform my prejudices into a growth mindset where I started to experience that storytelling is indeed a skill that everyone can learn with the right set of tools and guidance.”
