We could have not done this without Mary! Mary brought so much to this program and exceeded all expectations. Her expertise in dialogue facilitation and anti-racism work was invaluable. Anybody who gets to work with Mary in the future should consider themselves very lucky.
— Coordinator for International Studies, Department of Politics, SUNY Potsdam

Mary’s friendly, fun, and warm personality brings a sense of ease to the room. [Her] skillful use of facilitation tools contributed to a well-rounded discussion on readings, pushing the students to think critically as well as in becoming more aware of their own lenses.
