“Sue was very articulate and the flow of the webcast was excellent. I felt engaged and even though I have more than 10 years in higher ed, I took away new ideas.” Anne Marie Hodges, Chamberlain College of Nursing
“It was very helpful! I especially appreciated the interactive activity. It was handled very well. Going through the specific questions or suggestions you might give to a student helped me ground the general advice that the presenter gave.” Carolina De la Rosa, Student Engagement Specialist, SUNY Plattsburgh
