FEEDBACK • I just wanted to send a personal email to thank you for the online workshop on Wednesday night. It was extremely helpful and due to work I have been unable to make it to any workshops so far. I was beginning to get really worried and the online workshop answered all my questions and made sure I was on track” School of Economics and Finance
