Here is what one person text me after the event, “I hope you can tell Will Jay how powerful it was, I’m talking to so many people about it and they all loved it and were touched by his songs and words”. There were multiple messages in the chat during the event last night talking about how amazing his lyrics were, his voice, most importantly students were able to relate in to the messages he was talking and singing about.

“The [Full Color Street] signs were a big hit and ppl enjoyed the photobooth. The guy who was working it was really nice and easy to work with. Really pulled our event together.”

Murder Mystery
“The event went really well. We had about 40-45 students show up which was a great turnout for events we usually host. We did have one volunteer back out the day of the event, but Thomas was quick to rearrange the script to account for the missing actor. It actually made the murder mystery more suspenseful. I think Thomas was a great host and really engaging with the students when giving clues. Along with asking the actors the right questions that would warrant an audience reaction. He was a big contributor to all of our ohs and ah moments. I also think that the verdict sheets helped students feel like they were detectives or investigators given information to an unsolved mystery. Overall, everyone from members of SAB to those who attended noted it was one of the best events. “
—Jordana, Ithaca College
Kristen Becker
“Kristen [Becker] was great! Very funny and made a great connection to the crowd. We really appreciated her time. Apparently, there were a few fans in the crowd that have been following her comedy career and excited to meet her – always good to hear from students!”
—Simmons University
Andy Gold
“In planning a Retreat for medical professionals in recovery, we came across a YouTube video of Andy Gold. When we stopped laughing he was hired. Andy not only tailored his performance to be specific to the group, he also humbled himself to spend time with everyone in an AA meeting and overall fellowship. He was hysterically funny sharing personal experiences and life situations! Everyone loved him with a request to even have him return! He is worth his weight in gold and ended up being an inspiration to those who attended. If you are looking for a funny comedian who is real, he’s your guy. “
—Carolyn Westgate, Program Director, Professionals’ Health Program Kansas Medical Society
Kyla Lacey
“The event went really! We had good turnout for an event taking place the first week of classes, and Kyla [Lacey] was great! Students really enjoyed her, and I know our AALANA group is already talking about bringing her back another time. Thank you again (and to Kyla, too!) “

—Greg Overend, University of New Haven
Maximize Your Buzz
“You [Max Buzz] made an impact on my decisions. That night I planned to go to a birthday party, and I was excited to drink with all my friends. However, after going to the program, I didn’t want to drink anymore. I just wanted to hang out with my friends, and remember the night rather than waking up the next morning wondering how I got home. So I know you don’t know me personally, but I thought you should know that you made a difference.”
—Brittney Gilman, University of New Hampshire, Student
Zero Shades
“You made an instant connection with the audience and delivered difficult content in a manner that was relatable and not preachy. What I appreciate about the program [Zero Shades] is that it cuts through the “clutter” of Title IX, VAWA, Cleary, etc. and provides the audience with a clear message… Feedback from students was positive and appreciative of both the information and the manner in which it was delivered. Thanks so much for being such a great educational partner!”

—Brenna Conley, Drake University

—Lycoming College
Campus Feud

—Tim Wicklund, Midwinter Organizer
Joe Pera
“If you watch any comedian’s late-night set, regardless of the show, you’ll hear some medium laughs and a lot of (likely cued) applause breaks. Toward the end, [Joe] Pera gets both the loud pop laughs and the sort between-joke rolling laughter you’d see at a real comedy show. And the laughs are truly deserved.”
—Jesse David Fox, Vulture.com

—Jalon Falconer, Arkansas Technical University
Wendi Fox
“I have to say that Wendi [Fox] was beyond amazing! She was incredibly well-received and really wow’d us.
