CENTRAL WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, WA

As Associate Director for Campus Life, I had the pleasure and opportunity to work with Terry Wise…when she came to Central Washington University to present to our Health and Counseling Center Staff and then to the students and the community immediately afterwards.

I was most impressed by Terry’s candor, as well as her attention to every question, no matter how personal.  She shared openly about her personal experiences without “making it about her”.  Each piece of information and each experience she shared were clearly intended to help others — not to promote her book or to draw attention to herself.

Among the most impactive portions of her lecture was immediately following when a few audience members stayed after to speak with her privately.  Though her time was limited, Terry made sure each person felt affirmed and listened to.   Following her visit some of our audience members, including students and health professionals, spoke with me to voice their sincere appreciation for Terry and their desire to have her return.

Our Wellness Director was particularly impressed by Terry’s wealth of information and her presentation style.  So much that she has expressed interest to me in having Terry return to CWU to help train her student programmers, professional staff and the student leaders and resident advisors of University Housing.

Personally, after spending four hours in a university vehicle with Terry, I found her to be honest, and truly passionate about her work and life.  She has great humor and insight and is a great conversationalist (thank heavens–from someone who has spent countless hours in university vehicles with lecturers and performers).

I enthusiastically refer Terry Wise to any organization wishing to engage her services.  Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have need for further information.

Sincerely,
