Slide 1: What students say about the DRC

Slide 2: The DRC is the advocate for those who cannot advocate for themselves. They have stepped up bigtime in a big way. The thing we appreciate the most is the students they serve come first.

Slide 3: The DRC has made a wonderful difference in my time here at school and I want to thank you for your work. We never really understand the magnitude of our actions as we affect others. I’d like you to know in my case, the DRC’s empathy and commitment to excellence has made all the difference. Thank you for your unending support of me and others who turn to the DRC. Your work has immense value and I hope someday you will be acknowledged for all you do.]
