Dr. Hand-Gonzales, I want to thank you for all the time and energy you have spent advising me and guiding me through the college and scholarship application process.

Thank you again for your guidance, encouragement and support. I’m off to Princeton this fall.
PRINCETON STUDENT

My wife and I wanted to thank you for your time. We knew our son’s GPA wasn’t exactly stellar so we were all a bit apprehensive about out meeting and what you might have to say. I had prepared myself for you to suggest truck driving school. Not only are you completely knowledgeable and thoroughly versed in all matters of collegiate, you are an incredibly nice person. We are fortunate to have you. You put all three of us at ease and we sincerely appreciate it. He wants to kick footballs in college somewhere in the worse way. He was offered scholarships at Army, Georgia Tech, University of Mississippi and West Virginia!
