Testimonials
Below are actual testimonials taken from Core Curriculum evaluators:
- "This was a great experience for me, not only in increasing my knowledge of OSU practices, but in listening to all the feedback from colleagues-I valued every word. I feel that I have gained just enough information to increase my awareness level, which inspires me to want to learn more. Thank you so much!"
- "I've learned more in this workshop than any other workshop I've attended in the management area. I have attended workshops outside of OSU, but this was more useful because it was tailored to OSU. This course has provided me with more tools than I ever imagined. I look forward to applying everything I learned. Thank you!"
- "It's nice to find out what resources are available on campus that can provide assistance when we need it. I wish I had taken this course years ago."
