Testimonial

• I just wanted to say thank you so much for the
  powerful event you organized for our students
  today... and I mean powerful!  
• On the van ride back to school, the kids shared
  how impactful the student panel testimonies were
  and we all agreed that Pedro from EOPS reminds us
  of a stern, but loving, older male mentor who
  would push them, but never stop believing in
  them. Personally, I really appreciate how you
  asked the kids to look around the room and told
  them that this is what they could expect a
  college class to feel like because I believe you
  brought them one step closer to envisioning
  themselves as college students.
•  
• Chris said that before this trip, he never
  thought he'd ever go to college, but that you
  guys persuaded him as of today... and for that
  alone, I'm eternally grateful.
•  
• Can't wait to bring a larger group of students
  next Fall. Mark and I decided to open future
  fieldtrips to interested 10th and 11th graders as
  well as seniors. I've CC'd my principal and
  Senior Director so they are aware of how you and
  the Mesa College Outreach team have positively
  impacted the lives of our JCCS students.
• Have a great weekend and I'll definitely keep in
  touch )
