Comments from our Alumni

I wish I'd attended earlier in my NOAA career, as it would have made learning the ropes of the budget cycle a little easier.

I was consistently amazed at the dialog opportunities with people at such high levels of government.

A unique experience.

It was definitely an intense, high info week. Perfect! Don't change a thing!

This is by far the finest professional meeting I have ever attended in my 23-year career.

I loved the overall commitment to the younger members of our community.

I enjoyed having ample time for Q&A. I believe it is the centerpiece of the program. I also enjoyed the variety of speaking styles.

I really think that the organization of the Colloquium could not have been better.

The Colloquium gave me much more than I expected when I came. There is a plethora of content that I will take with me back to my job and in my entire career.

Excellent content. I have learned so much and many of my thoughts and opinions have really changed or been broadened.

Thank you so much! This has been an extremely rewarding ten days!
