should be the one thanking you! It is always a pleasure to work with
you. By using both power-point and hands on activities, the students
can be a part of the experience. It's not a lecture, it's a whole different
world that you allow those who are lost to be comfortable to walk into.
It is an honor to have worked with you and hope to do so again soon."

| "A
quick note of thanks for the outstanding program you presented at Penn
State University’s NE Regional Allies in Prevention Conference,
on Friday, November 1st, 2002. Your enthusiasm and interaction with
the students from the NE Caucus, Penn State Wilkes-Barre, Hazelton,
and Worthington Scranton, was more than I could have asked for. Attempting
to make even student leaders feel comfortable can be a difficult task.
You were able to make everyone feel comfortable, connected, and a member
of their Allies team. I have had a number of students approach me with accolades for your ability to touch on sometimes difficult topics in a caring and understanding manner which made them feel you understood where they were coming from. Your ability to intertwine our other presenter’s information (Drug and Alcohol Prevention) into your presentation was very well done and appreciated. Your participation in our Penn State University Student Leadership Conference and now as, I hope, a permanent member of our Regional Leadership Conferences makes my job more enjoyable as well. You’re flexibility to work around schedules and spur of the moment issues is to be complimented. I would highly recommend you to any one who is looking for a team building, diversity issues, or Orientation presenter. Again Tom, not only do I thank you but our students send their thanks as well. What more of a compliment can I forward to you than this….”Tom was Great!” I look forward to working with you in the near future." Sincerely, Student
Activities/Service Learning Coordinator |

you for all of your help with Gryphon Training at Lehigh. I received
a lot of positive feedback from the Gryphons. One told me your session
was the best diversity training she's experienced in the four years
she's been a Gryphon! Thank you for your invaluable time, energy and
resources! " Gretchen
