Feedback
|
| "I really enjoyed the conference. It was a great opportunity for us to
present our research and it was interesting to learn about other people's work" "Just wanted to thank you for organizing the
conference last week. I had a very nice time and
enjoyed presenting and hearing other projects
immensely. Thanks again!"
"I found the conference very helpful to me in deciding
whether I should further pursue my interest in an international career. I also enjoyed
being around students with similiar interest and listening to some of their research. My
only regret is that I didn't take off work to attend more of the conference."
"Thank you again for everything you did for this
conference, this was my first time, and it was an incredibly rewarding experience."
"Students of mine who presented at the conference had
a great time. They really enjoyed it and felt that the experience was really helpful. They
got over some of their public speaking jitters and are looking forward to more
opportunities for presentations.
