Testimonials Just wanted you to know that Ive learned a lotfrom the course--and since at 81, Im what youcould call a computer dinosaur, no one is moresurprised than I am about that! Kudos to you and Wake for doing this, and Ihope you will offer other courses in the future--howabout a short course on desktop publishing? Myconnection to Wake, by the way, is that myhusband was in the first law school class tograduate from the "new" campus. Thanks again. 34. Leading ChangeAnnual GivingCapital Campaign 35.
