We just heard a wonderful speech by Raven Turner. Miss Turner was
phenomenal! Miss Turner really brought back to my remembrance a lot of things that I thought about when it comes to being successful and she definitely was motivating. She has a great approach to how she wants to complete her life how and to be more successful in your own personal life. I really wanted our students to see this because this is something that is very special to me, their future success.
Having miss Turner come in who is closer to their age and being able to connect with them in the way that she did tonight I think was very beneficial for all of us. Thank You!

Raven did an outstanding job of communicating a message that connected with our students and their current circumstances. After Raven's keynote, several students were eager to meet her. She was very welcoming to each of them and provided additional motivation after executing a flawless speech at our freshman convocation.

Raven came and spoke to our student-athletes this evening, she did a great job and really had them thinking about would their future self thank their present self for what they’re doing today. She really did a great job and inspired students, faculty and staff alike. She did a great job!

I thought Raven Turner tonight really did an outstanding job motivating not only the student-athletes but myself.
Having been in this profession for forty-something years it’s always neat to hear someone else tell their story and what their goals are how to achieve those goals. I know that I’m anxious to meet with our players tomorrow to find out exactly what they felt.
