We do informal questionnaires to our students when they come into our program. And by far, the number one reason why they come into packaging is sustainability, and they want to make a difference. And the other thing is the digitization. And they expect to make a difference and to make decisions with systems that operate like their phones. So I think Specright, what you're doing, it hits exactly what our students are looking for.
