“My students, by the way, continue to thank me for introducing them to you. This is noteworthy, as students haven’t acknowledged other guest speakers/facilitators. In other words, you made quite an impression. And more importantly, you made students think.”
Elaina Verveer, Public Achievement Director, University of Colorado Boulder
