“I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!!! …I am so grateful for the amazing app I could cry! You have just made attending a University a million times easier…I also feel like my voice was heard. I am so grateful that this University listens and cares about what the students say and need. I know for some people it may seem like a little thing but having the ability to take my class with me in a mobile format (that is amazing) is the difference between struggling with school and succeeding. You have done an excellent job! Thank you.”
