Thank you for this opportunity! I never would have been able to see the power that can come with vulnerability and openness. Even though the world is still just as scary, I feel so lucky to have been able to learn and grow from this experience and from you both. You have been amazing wonderful teachers, thank you so much!!

This training program has been the highlight of my sophomore year. I am extremely grateful to you Dr. Sanford for offering me the opportunity to be a part of DPE. I also really appreciate you Dr. Simpkins for taking time out of your days to be a resource, facilitator, and teacher to all of us. I learn so much every session and I am really excited for the future of this program! Thank you both :)

Dear Dr. Simpkins and Dr. Sanford,

Thank you so much for all you have taught us this semester! We have all learned so much and become so close. These lessons have been hard work and I am so thankful for your guidance as we have been learning together. You both have helped to create such a special, safe environment where we can be vulnerable and heard. I am still so nervous to start facilitating, but you have laid a strong foundation for all of us and I know we will be able to take on whatever comes our way.

Thank you again!

Sincerely,
Sophia
