The Impact:
Feedback from the Stage

Union College

 

"I've had Matthew work with students at Union College many times. He is always very friendly and engaging and our students look forward to his return each semester. He is motivational and inspiring while also teling the truth and helping our students to understand the reality of the world they are entering into. Matthew doesn't sugarcoat reality, but his example and experience of overcoming challenges makes it seem a little less scary. We have already booked him twice for next year!"
