Testimonials
"The best part of this program was working with the risk management from my university. We actually had time to develop trust and confidence in each others' capacity to increase interest in this topic on our campus, and put more action items in place in our planning."
"I was really impressed with this workshop and found all the presenters did an excellent job, each offering their own expertise and personalities while really considering the roles of everyone involved in the process. It was so helpful in guiding us in the right direction, knowing that a good plan is possible, and everyone is learning and working to get a good handle on this issue."
