The audience wasbrfascinated that a university would be willing to send employees to eachbrindividual high school so the students and teachers could receive help andbrsupport at their home school.
brbr
The power of thisbrpresentation left the audience asking the question, “how can we build abrrelationship with our schools, so students and faculty can help students bridgebrthe high school and university experiences?”
