“Leslie is a gem. She did an excellent job of connecting with, encouraging and challenging our students. The transition to college is difficult for most students. Leslie’s support was invaluable as our students made this big life transition——-they were successful their first semester, they grew in self-knowledge and they became more confident in their own ability to do hard things. They bonded with Leslie and they learned invaluable things from her, both of which were vital. What a great investment. We would do it again! ”
