"One thing I really appreciate about CEO is the honesty. Whether that be between our classmates, with the facilitators, etc. I never feel like I have to water down my opinion to please others. On Wednesday, we got to catch up and discuss the Experience, past speakers, etc. We ranked the speakers from strongest to “not the strongest” as Mr. Probst said. I hadn’t thought about doing that, but as I was thinking about it I was kind of surprised with the results. If you would have asked me to rank them the day before the Experience based off who I thought would be the strongest I would have said the complete opposite. We definitely realized there were some things we could have improved." 02/22/2017
"Wednesday, we had the Thanksgiving gathering and there were so many people there. I loved the networking opportunity and got to talk to so many people that had great advice about life and CEO. There were a lot of alumni there so hearing their advice was really nice and comforting. Knowing that a few years ago they were in our position, under the same pressure as we are put me at ease."11/29/2016
