Testimonials from Delegates
“The lessons I learned from the Experiential Classroom will allow me to become a much better teacher. The clinic was BY FAR the best training/conference I have ever attended. Each session provided incredible practical content. I cannot adequately express how grateful I am to you and the rest of the instructors for providing me and all of the other delegates with this incredible experience. To be in the same room with some of the greatest minds in entrepreneurship is such an honor.”
Lisa Cooley, Delta State University
“Thank you for accepting me as a delegate from Smith College for the Experiential Classroom. It was, by far, the best and most helpful entrepreneurship training I’ve attended.”
Rene Heavlow, Smith College
“I wanted to thank you for a fantastic weekend of instruction! Every session I attended was engaging and very helpful, either with general entrepreneurship pedagogy or helpful tips to teach a specific topic or both. All the delegates I spoke with felt the same way.”
Justin Kent, University of North Carolina
“It was the most rewarding, relevant, resource-rich conference I have ever been to. I am very grateful for the opportunity to participate in this conference and I now feel even more connected to the field of entrepreneurship and its scholars and educators.”
Susan Loucks, Indiana University
“I could not be happier that I took you up on your offer to attend the Experiential Classroom XIX. I will be a very long time unpacking everything I have learned and integrating it into my teaching. I do believe that our new entrepreneurship minor would be much stronger if we could apply the lessons from the Experiential Classroom conference on a program-wide basis. Thank you again for a wonderful learning experience.”
Maureen Casile, Indiana State University
“I feel so inspired and motivated after listening to so many distinguished and experienced professionals from different backgrounds. Not only were the presenters engaging, kind and sharing but the delegates were also interesting and kind and willing to share their experiences. I am so excited to incorporate some of these concepts and ideas into my classes. I truly think this will be one of those experiences that will have a lasting impact on my life. I feel very lucky to have attended and met so many great people and I hope I can hang on to this feeling for as long as I can.”
Christine Pitt, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden
“Thank you for enabling me through the partial sponsorship I received from USASBE to attend the experiential classroom held in Gainesville, Florida last year September. The experience has had a great impact on me and my colleagues in the university. Using the knowledge attained, I have developed a proposal to the government of Kenya to assist in establishing an experiential centre for entrepreneurship research and development.”
Teresia Kyalo
“I was excited to be reminded why we do this and to be exposed to new ideas. A great mix of topics and presenters. I’ve taken away ideas, approaches, and exercises I can use for years to come to benefit students.”
Kyle Eastham, Oklahoma State University
“I want to thank you for a great workshop. I learned a lot and can’t wait to apply it to my classes.”
John Dobson, Seton Hill College
“An inspiring religious revival experience! I’m accepting the torch and running. I learned so much that I can take back to my university as well as meeting so many great and inspiring people. One of the very best conferences I have ever attended and so very well organized.”
Carrie J. White, MBA, JD Director, The Center for Entrepreneurship, Associate Professor, Entrepreneurship and Law, West Liberty University
“Again, thank you for having me down to participate. An unbelievable experience – I started using some of the great things I learned in my class already, and can’t wait to work some more in next term.”
