We\u2019re excited to introduce the first in a series of three short films, offering an inside look at their collaborative efforts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the things, that as I&#8217;ve gotten to know you, that I appreciate most is how you view education\u2013and there seems like there&#8217;s a lot of synergy between the two of us,&#8221; says Dr. Hudson during their conversation. &#8220;So, in your own words, if you had to explain, it, how would you? How would you capture and name it?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I believe that education should be, first of all, joyful,&#8221; Dr. Brogdon replied. &#8220;A day shouldn&#8217;t go by where students, faculty, and staff don&#8217;t find a reason to smile and laugh about something, be proud about something, be able to look back and say, &#8216;we did this together,&#8217; in some way. I strongly believe that the educational experience for everyone should be about creating and asking questions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s what education is all about,\u201d Dr. Hudson agreed.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Hudson and Dr. Brogdon&#8217;s shared vision for MPA, rooted in collaboration and joy, sets a strong foundation for our future. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dR6shUpW2iA\">Listen to their conversation here<\/a> and stay tuned for more conversations to come!<\/p>\n<div class=\"clearfix\">\r\n<div class=\"next-steps row\">\r\n<div class=\"col-sm-4\"><a class=\"btn btn-block btn-green\" href=\"https:\/\/www.moundsparkacademy.org\/about-mpa\/\r\n\">About MPA <\/a><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-sm-4\"><a class=\"btn btn-block btn-gold\" href=\"https:\/\/www.moundsparkacademy.org\/learn-more\/\">Request Information <\/a><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-sm-4\"><a class=\"btn btn-block btn-blue\" href=\"https:\/\/www.moundsparkacademy.org\/apply-now\/\">Apply Today <\/a><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This message is from MPA\u2019s Office of Admission from the April 4 issue of Inside MPA.
