Here is what our nonprofit partners had to say about their experience.
"The quality of our students far exceeded our expectations (which were high to begin with, based on prior experiences with Univeresity of Michigan students). Their projects may well help to dramatically move Focus: HOPE from a 20th century institution into a 21st century institution. I can't say enough about how thrilled we have been with their conributions!"
— Tracy Hall, Director of External Affairs, Focus: HOPE
"Interns were very organized and proactive. We have already begun to implement their suggestions, even before their formal presentation has been made."
— Teresa Clark, Director of Development, The Sphinx Organization
