Praise for Student Ambassadors 2008-2009

"Thanks again for all your help this year. I hope your students found it a useful experience. We certainly appreciated their help. Please pass on my thanks to everyone concerned."

Head of Languages, Exmouth Community College, July 2009.

 

"Just a quick message to say a big ‘thank you’ for a great day last Friday. The students thoroughly enjoyed themselves and didn’t stop talking about it in the minibus all the way back to school! Not only did they really enjoy themselves but they learnt a great deal as well.

Your ambassadors could not do enough for us and really were great ambassadors for the University of Exeter so please pass on my thanks to them.

I would also like to particularly thank Catherine and Gareth for all the visits to our school – they were excellent with the kids and thoroughly professional at all times. I hope next year’s Year 10 students will be lucky enough to have this experience as well!"

Head of Learning, Honiton Community College, June 2009.

 

" Just a quick mail to say thank you so much for allowing the 4 students to come along yesterday .... I chatted with them myself for the first 20 minutes, and I could immediately recognise how motivated and what lovely personalities they had.

The Science staff, the MFL staff and the students were equally impressed - apparently they spoke superbly and were very interesting.  The students are now really fired up about going to University, and Exeter may be a popular choice!"

"Gosh what a day!! The Student Ambassadors were great.  Our students got so much from the day. Would you pass our thanks on to them please?"

"More than that, they were absolutely fabulous, and had the highest ratings of any of our major speakers – best out of 5. They were simple terrific; thank you for organising it."

Torquay Girls School, June 2009.

 

"Our guide for the tour was a First Year Drama student called Kat, and she was the most excellent ambassador: knowledgeable, enthusiastic, helpful and fun.  She went to a great deal of trouble to give us all the information and time that we needed, and our son managed to get a very good insight into the life of a student and the sort of expectations he might reasonably have. Please thank her for us - we thoroughly enjoyed our tour and will certainly be considering Exeter when the time comes to make a UCAS application."

"Just to say thank you so much for organizing the campus visit. Our guide, Kate, was fantastic and gave us a wonderful tour of campus.
Please thank her for being so kind and giving us her time. My mother and I absolutely loved everything about our visit and I will certainly be putting Exeter down on my application."

Streatham Campus Visitor, May 2009.

"Dear Dan, Ryan and Gareth,

Just a quick note to say a big thanks for your contributions to our seminar this lunchtime. The session was extremely interesting and useful, thanks to you. I've been discussing a number of the issues raised with colleagues this afternoon, all of whom found it a thought-provoking event.

I must also say how very impressed everyone was with your presentation skills, confidence and all-round professionalism, which has been the subject of the majority of the feedback we’ve had on the seminar so far! You each did a great job, and I'm extremely grateful for your help."
