"The R.I.D.E. is the most beneficial H.S. counselor staff development I've discovered in the past six years - what an amazing wealth of opportunities we have and many students have profited from my R.I.D.E. experiences! Do I plan to go again next summer? You bet!"

"The best and only way for our students to choose a college is through a college visit. The best way for school counselors to emulate this critical step is to take advantage of the R.I.D.E."

"Each year I come back excited and energized with the knowledge I've learned. Besides the college tours and information, the R.I.D.E. provides me a great chance to network with other counselors throughout the state...something one can never do enough."
