What students had to say
I have taken two of your classes through WCC and both have been more than insightful, not to mention helpful. I am making connections right and left with various Bellingham based individuals and organizations, experiencing less self doubt the more I talk about my workplace and job responsibilities, which include PR for the Center for Expressive Arts & Experiential Education. Two weeks ago we had a nice write-up in the Cascadia Weekly and this Thursday there will be a short but sweet piece in Take 5. So thank you for your enthusiasm, helpful materials and honesty. I feel like I am on track. Thanks again. Yours, Mary Burwell
Thank you for the class on Thursday of Mastering the Art of Free Publicity. Monday I sent a press release ou, and today I received a call from the Whatcom Independent wanting to do a story! I can’t believe all this happened within a week of your class. Damn, you’re good!

I and the members of the Nellie Gerdrum Lodge #41
of the Daughters of Norway would like to thank you
for your Publicity course. As a result of your very
thorough and attentive instruction I have been able
to develop a strong publicity program for the lodge
that is producing solid results in only three months.
In addition to attracting new members, which was
my original goal, past members are expressing
interest and current members are more active
participants. Your effervescence and creative
problem solving is contagious. Your continuing
feed back is invaluable. Thank you.
