Erin has honored her friend by starting this program and empowering women. I really think women need to know they can fight back.

Bree was amazing! The presentation was absolutely fantastic! She was very engaging with the students and knew how to relate with them on their level. She had me laughing throughout the presentation. I would love to bring this organization back to campus, perhaps the Students Fight Back Program. Bree was phenomenal with the crowd we offered her. I have received nothing but praise from the professional staff that were in attendance, including the Director of our Counseling Center and our Victim Advocate. Also, because of her presentation a few of us in Campus Recreation and Wellness have signed up for a Women’s Self-Defense class! I look forward to working with you all in the future.

The message is perfect, but the delivery is what sells the show. Bree is young and relate-able. She did an awesome job of being funny, but yet getting the message across. Bree Swartz is fantastic presenter for students fight back. She's highly engaging and excellent at incorporating the students into the presentation. I will have Students Fight Back return again and hope to bring other programming that Girls Fight Back offers.

GFB is amazing at getting this important information to women in a way that is empowering and engaging. I don’t think that I have ever heard anyone speak about self-defense with that much enthusiasm and humor.

GFB is truly sensational and inspirational. I love that she didn’t make me fearful of attackers or of being attacked. Instead, it made me aware of my surroundings, and her techniques made me feel safer. This presentation is one that I would definitely see again.

She (Bree) was fantastic at engaging students and keeping their attention. Good energy and mixture of activity and lecture. People who we never see at our events came up to us and thanked us for bringing her to campus.

Hi, Gina! Wanted to tell you what an amazing job Morgan did Monday night. She was amusing and very engaging with the audience. You could tell that she had a wonderful connection with ALL the ladies that attended. She made Shannon proud!

Bree was great. She had to do her presentation with no mics and the videos were messing up. In spite of all of the technical difficulties, Bree was engaging and fun. I have heard nothing but positive feedback regarding the Girls Fight Back presentation.

I've worked in Student Activities for some time now, and Girls Fight Back completely blew me away with their presentation. They were prepared, prompt, engaging, and professional. I haven't been this impressed with an event in quite some time. Bree was engaging, dynamic, and poised. She connected with our group of students, and kept the presentation fun and interactive.

Girls Fight Back was easily the best program I have seen come to Denison since I have been here. It was educational and entertaining. The women who went could not stop talking about it the next day. I will take what I learned from Erin and use it for the rest of my life.

Nicole was WONDERFUL. We have a small campus and sometimes our audiences can be small. In the past, this has almost bothered presenters in some way (much more intimate than they are used to, I suppose). Nicole was not bothered at all. She embraced all of the students and made great use of the intimate setting. She is such a dynamic and engaging speaker, and the students really enjoyed her. I cannot praise her enough.

Students were talking about and practicing what they had learned as they walked out of the seminar and all the way back to their homes. I was very impressed by that!
