I want to commend all the presenters, you all really make a difference.” “This program helped me understand that there is more than one way of approaching a person.” “I think the workshops helped me to learn more about life and how people view different things.” “I would definitely recommend this program to others and do it again myself.” “HOLDUP! taught me how to deal with the problems I'm facing.” “The presenters helped me realize more about students in my school. They introduced me to a whole new group of people.” “HOLDUP! was fun and helped me with life challenges and how to be a better leader.” “I always walked out with a more positive attitude than when I walked in.” “HOLDUP! was a chance to have fun and learn at the same time.” “If I could do HOLDUP! again I definitely would.” “I benefited from their emotional and intellectual support.” “They helped me to be more understanding of people from different races and religious preferences.” “I enjoyed all the activities. Some were very easy to relate to and those that weren't introduced me to various perspectives.” “I enjoyed coming because this was something new to me.” “I made new friends and learned about myself and others.” For More InformationFor more information about HOLDUP!, stop by the Involvement Office (Student Union Room 302) or contact HOLDUP! at UCONNHOLDUP@gmail.com or 486-4362.
