What are students who took the course saying?

 “It was refreshing to experience an industry that actually demonstrated a desire to hire people from my generation. The stigma of the boring insurance industry was quickly erased.”       Chase Youngman, Senior, Douglas County High School

“It provided what it promises – a college credit for minimal time & work – but so much more. It provided amazing advice, recommendations, the chance to connect with fabulous people, and an experience one can carry with them and build upon for the rest of their lives. When I think of insurance now, I think of all the opportunities.”       Deana Alter, Junior, Cherry Creek High School
