"I was struck with the level of maturity in our class. They seemed very interested with what we were presenting, and asked intelligent and logical questions. I constantly felt like their curiosity stemmed from personal experiences, making the impact of our answers and our presence there all the more real. The way in which the students reacted made me feel like we were accomplishing a lot." M. Kusulas, '09
