• Some feedback from students..
• I think overall this was a great experience. I am
  glad that I came and have no regrets whatsoever.
  My eyes have been opened and I am looking forward
  to using what I learned here out in our
  community.
• There is nothing I enjoy more than watching
  people succeed, especially black people because
  of the stereotypical world they are surrounded
  by. I enjoyed everything and want to thank all
  the people who made the day happen.
• I think it is fairly strong already. To make it
  stronger you could get more kids to come and let
  them know that it will not be a waste of time.

• Some feedback from students..
• Today was perfect, with more experience from the
  institute it will get better. Not to say it was
  bad, can see it really making a difference for
  people.
• I hope it will be here next year. I think it is
  fairly strong already. To make it stronger you
  could get more kids to come and let them know
  that it will not be a waste of time.
• Try and reach out to more organizations that are
  not only based in the Midwest in case students
  may want to relocate.
• It was truly a blessing to be in the presence of
  so many African American leaders.
