I learned how to be a better communicator and work with a team of people where I was able to best utilize their strengths.” - Cortney Stace (Taylor University)
“It has absolutely changed my life in a positive way, more than i could have imagined; I’ll never be the same.” - Colin Urbanick (Indiana Wesleyan University)
