"You 'got me,' you captured me as a person"

Thank you so, so much. You made me feel very comfortable. The article was absolutely beautiful and stated so eloquently. You “got me," you captured me as a person & my artwork so well & I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you. I am going to send the article to my children and anyone else that I can think of that would be interested. Oh my goodness, fantastic, I love it so much!

"I was hooked"

What a great article you wrote for the FAP. I was hooked. It was very lively, fast paced, and it touched on all key aspects of the FAP. You must have done a lot of work researching and talking to the FAP students to have such insights. I love it.

Thanks so much for helping getting the words out about the FAP!

"Truly informational and entertaining"

Meilee led a résumé workshop for members of Women Communicators of Austin, one of the largest and most diverse communications organizations in Central Texas. She delivered some truly informational and entertaining sessions full of advice for résumé best practices. Her workshop offered recommendations for attendees in the early stages of their careers, for very seasoned professionals, and for career changers. We received very positive feedback from the attendees who left with plenty of actionable tips to create better résumés.

"Took a dry subject and made it entertaining and informative"

How the masterful Dr. Bridges took a dry subject and made it entertaining and informative is a feat I will not soon forget. I sat there saying, "OMG. Her energy, her delivery, her information is amazing. I can't believe I'm one of 15 very fortunate communicators to see this phenomenon in action!" If you get the opportunity to hear her speak on this subject or any other, GO.

"Making what I thought to be a boring subject come alive"

I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for such a wonderful class. I have never been a huge fan of English, and when I told my family and friends that I was taking this course, they were all stunned. However, they were more surprised when I told them that your class has been my most favorite class. I cannot thank you enough for making what I thought to be a boring subject come alive. I looked forward to coming to your class and actually wished that we had more than an hour and a half to discuss everything. You have truly made this class so enjoyable, and I would jump at the chance to take any course that you decided to teach.

Of all the classes I have taken, I truly believe that your class gave me the most useful skill set of any class and will be the most helpful in the years to come.

Thank you so much for everything you did. You have made a real difference in my life.

"I learned more than I ever imagined I would"

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you. Your class was incredible, I learned more than I ever imagined I would, and I had a great time doing so. You have by far been the most helpful English professor I have ever encountered, and I plan to make use of you as a resource for many years to come.

"An amazing class"

Thank you for an amazing class. You have been by far my favorite teacher. I never really enjoyed writing in high school, but you made it fun for me. I always looked forward to brainstorming with you, and after every paper, I've felt accomplished and proud of my work.

Thanks so much, and I hope many other students get the opportunity to experience your awesomeness!
