Feedback from Post-Program Evaluations

 

Kathi Bradford: Associate Director of Residential Life: Westfield State College

"April's keynote was perfect for our student attendees. She received excellent feedback from them. Her program 'True colors' was rated the highest by our students. They want her to come back!"

 

Christine Marino, Assistant Director, Elizabethtown College:

"The football/half time reference was helpful and was used by RAs throughout the weekend. The students seemed to enjoy the acitvites. The reading before and after helped the RD staff with processing. You're support during our own processing was appreciated. Thank you for your insight and energy."

 

RAs from Elizabethtown College:

"We really enjoyed the program." One RA said, "Come on guys it's halftime-how are we going to end the game?"

"April had a lot of energy and good things to say."

 

Jenn Thorpe, Assistant Director Philadelphia University
about True Colors:

The staff rated it its "favorite" program during this year's training. They loved the interaction and thought that the program was the "most important" thing they ever have done in training. The energy they had after being away at Stony Acres was amazing and I think that was due to your presentation style and engaging them.

Feedback from professional staff:
