“This was the best Institute or conference that I have ever attended! I am newly inspired! I will start the school year with many ideas that I am excited to share and try. I also feel I can be clearer in promoting service-learning in my school.

Thank you all for your thoughtfulness in planning out such a well rounded and stimulating program. It was clear that you were there to help us learn and understand, and that you had ongoing dialogues and reflection on how you were meeting our needs.”
