Participant Feedback from 2008-2009 Programs

John Bowman, Saatchi & Saatchi at Ohio University

Professor comments

“Rietje is a natural in front of the classroom - the students really responded to her, and I literally had to peel her away from both classes. I simply can't convey how successful this visit was, Rietje was exactly the PERFECT person to visit for this course and project. You may want to keep her on your list of 'spectacular speakers and teachers' because, hands down, she is likely the best that I've ever had into the classroom. We'd love to have her back to RIT anytime.”  
- Rochester Institute of Technology. Speaker: Rietje Gieskes

Paul Kurnit, Kurnit Communications and KidShop at University of Hartford
