I wanted to let you know that Tom said afterward that ‘this was one of the most engaging discussions’ he's ever had…I think the speaker got as much out of this as the class did.” • A student perspective: “I really enjoyed hearing [the speaker’s] story and was inspired by it. It makes me want to get involved more w/ my community and make a change.”
