Thanks to your class, my knowledge base and professional preparation for my development work - visits, cultivation of major gifts, interpersonal-communication methods and finesse, plus quantitative strategies - have progressed a great deal. That's exciting. I appreciated the class environment that you fostered which allowed for intense interaction and thought-provoking exploration and review of the reading materials. All the while, there was an appreciation for the intellectual aspects of our field and the essential humanity of philanthropy, especially with Major Gift-oriented individuals in mind.
