"Remember you're having a
                                            convo with real people, and
           "Build long standing
                                            there are hopes, dreams,
          relationships with the
                                            fears, frustrations on the
          prospective students. "
          @NickDeNardis                     other side. Be human."
                                            @Robin2Go



                 "be authentic... don't put on
                 a professional personality.
                 just be yourselves"
                 @KarlynM                    "Speak in your own voice about
                                             your own experiences..."
                                           @mStonerblog



           "Authenticity, good writing, relevant
