HOLDUP! 2008High School Student Feedback“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 Elizabeth Santos at elizabeth.santos@uconn.edu or 486-4362. |
