Anne is great!
It was an awesome opportunity to listen about the history of how the struggle was fought in Des Moines. Just a shame that the university couldn't pay the panelists something.
A great event as always!
Very nice entertaining and educational event.
I think it was great that they talked about the things that affect students the most.
I truly enjoyed this. It was both fun and educational to take a memory trip back to 2006 and compare how the social world has evolved and how we can remain professional within today's network. John is a composed and friendly speaker but pulls no punches with getting his message across. He was also gracious to hang out for questions afterwards... And he's taller than I imaged. 😁
The people were really nice and food was good!
Thanks so much for all the great information. This event was time well-spent!
Great chance to learn about resources and to help build my support team.
Love comedy
