On High School Graduation Day
The principal gave me a letter… He wrote: “…that more than any student I’ve seen in my 30 year career, you’ve served as a bridge between wildly different groups of people, solving problems real and imagined.”

Student Testimonial
“I know firsthand how vital a positive role model can be. One person of particular influence for me was my advisor, Mike Sidoti.
Mike and I would meet bi-weekly to strategize about upcoming assignments, as well as create action plans so that I stayed on top of my work.
Mike was as much a mentor as an advisor. In addition to academic tutoring, he helped me grow as a person.
I always stepped out of Mike’s office with my spirits lifted."
