FEEDBACK
"What wonderful  knowledge, wisdom, shared observations, antidotal experiences, conversations, the other participants comments, safe environment and your patience in answering my questions....  Your genuine enthusiasm for the subject and your students was most apparent. You covered a wealth of material and were so generous in sharing your slides. It takes years to gather what you shared and I know that from my own experiences. So thank you from the bottom of my San Diego heart. " (Emerita Assistant Dean for Student Affairs San Diego State University, 2024, How To Prepare...)
