"I have never met anyone as extraordinary as you are. I have never had a mentor, coach, professor, teacher, etc. push me the way you do...You pushed me and I learned quickly that if I wanted anything out of this life, I needed to work very very hard. Not only did you push me, but you showed me I was capable of being great...Thank you for the time put in, the effort, and the work you do. Dr. Fisher, you have opened my eyes to a world that I never thought I would explore." - BH
Dr. Fisher, you pushed me to be great and helped me realize that so long as I am always open to learning, I can do great things. You did what I wish every professor did; you taught not only subject matter, but also taught how to use that education to be successful in life. It took someone great to help me see just how big the world is and just how many great opportunities there are." - RB
"Language plays a big part in our daily lives. I never really thought of language as being more than just words, but now I know that it's a vital part of our lives. I listen to my baby try to make sounds and I associate that with the material that we have covered. I smile at the very thought that my baby is doing something wonderful that will be a vital in his life." - JN
