Inspired by the “Humans of New York” project run by Brandon Stanton, five MIPA participants were randomly selected and shared some facts about themselves. They also contributed their favorite song to go along with the Mipapalooza music-based theme. This is a follow up to the first and second Students of MIPA posts from Aug. 4, 2014 and Aug. 5, 2014.
