Testimonials

Congratulations to everyone who worked on SOAR! As a first time college parent, I was very impressed with how organized and smoothly the day went. There were plenty of SOAR assistants, directing us where to go; signage was plentiful and I never felt overwhelmed by the sheer numbers. Thank you for welcoming the new students, and their involved parents, in a fun and professional manner.
