In the last month, NTEN staff have rested and recuperated (Jessica even traveled to China!), and debriefed a whole lot of the NTC. We also read through all of the NTC evaluations! We didn''t want to split up these post-NTC conversations so have sacrificed brevity in the hopes of completeness. Want to re-live the magic?
