The event went wonderfully. Nicole's presentation had tons of important information and was very engaging. It was received with very positive feedback from staff and students. When I advertised this event, I put emphasis on the boundary-setting and self-defense aspects of the event. I greatly appreciated how thoroughly Nicole went over those topics. I am very happy with how the event went. We had plenty of time for a Q&A, and I'll be sure to leave this event in our programming notes so next year's team can work with you as well!

The students were very glad to have this workshop and found it extremely helpful!  I have to share this feedback with our administration to see if we can do this again! The impact was tremendous for those who attended.  We will be creating a list of resources that are at College and in the community related to self-defense.  This event increased the awareness of this need for students.  How amazing is that?

[Trainer] Nicole was amazing. She was high energy for both presentations, with a
willingness to connect with the students and share more tips during lunch. I
appreciated her from the first planning meeting over the phone to the day of her
presentation. Her willingness to incorporate University of Redlands bystander information added an extra level of excitement.

I loved your presentation and was thoroughly upset that I had another engagement during 4th period.  Many of the students noticed and appreciated the inclusive language that you used throughout the presentation.  The administrators are already talking about having you back. Thanks!

Students Fight back was great! We had about 140 students show up to the event, and the feedback I received after the event was very positive. Morgan did a great job! She had a great energy that helped get students involved in the presentation. We enjoyed working with Girls Fight Back and we are looking forward to working with you in the future.

Bree was fantastic, and we had a wonderful time. Our turnout was much smaller than anticipated due to finals and students focused on graduation, and Bree was totally flexible and accommodating. Rather than doing a formal presentation, Bree had us form a half-circle and we had a more relaxed discussion along with her presentation and self-defense demonstration. I spoke with some participants afterward who are interested in bringing SFB to campus again if we can find a time in the Fall semester that would draw a larger crowd. I think that this is a great program that I would definitely recommend to others!

The students absolutely loved the (Students Fight Back) program and Bree! We had a great turnout, around 130 people, which is wonderful. We had several students and faculty members comment that this was the best program we’ve had. The information that was provided is so essential and was presented very professionally, yet in a down to earth way that everyone felt comfortable with, no matter the gender or age. We had a very diverse group that attended. One of our adjunct instructors is a sergeant with our local police department. He reached out to Bree to express how impressed he was with the program and how it was presented. He also contacted me to thank us for having this program on campus. The students themselves said they felt empowered and more confident in themselves after attending the program. I believe the best part of the event is audience participation. They felt a part of what Bree was doing and were able to re-enact scenarios of situations that they might find themselves involved in. The bystander information was invaluable. I would enthusiastically recommend this program to all campuses-large and small!

 Nicole's presentation was just what we needed—expert information and very engaging presentation.  It’s not easy to find great content and a great presentation in one package, but she delivered both.

Thank you so much for following up regarding Students Fight Back at Lynchburg College. The event was absolutely AMAZING! …the people who were present loved Students Fight Back! My sorority and I are even looking into have an all-day self-defense class in the future. Again, it was an awesome performance, and Bree was wonderful! I hope to work with you all again in the future.

The students enjoyed it (Students Fight Back) very much. We had around 160 students, faculty and staff in attendance. I heard a lot of compliments from the three groups. Our new incoming students have been doing an online training regarding Title IX. 71% of our student population is female and this information was very beneficial for them. I think that the real life scenarios helped our students gain awareness. The self-defense section of the training was also very helpful for them, as many did not have an idea of how easy it can be to defend yourself. The best part was that it was interactive. It was not your typical lecture, but a combination of a variety of things; from the videos, to facts, to the self-defense demonstrations, it was plenty of helpful information in a one hour time frame.

We had a great time with “Girls Fight Back!” We advertised the program as “Students Fight Back” and it worked really well. It’s great to have a program like this at a male dominated school. It truly helped open their eyes to the realities of the world!

Bree spoke well to our small crowd. She arrived on time and was extremely well prepared. Easy to work with and interacted well with the students. Bree gave personal examples of situations she has experienced; I think these are extremely helpful to females in the audience to relate to if they have been in a similar situation. Seeing Bree's petite size shows the audience that it doesn't matter what your size is, everyone can fight back. I plan on having Students Fight Back return next year to our campus.

Students Fight Back is a great program! Though Miami U is location in a small, rural town, its not exempt from assault crimes. Students Fight Back gives students safety knowledge for their time on campus, as well as their lives after college.

We just completed the Students Fight Back program and want to let you know that Nicole Snell did a wonderful job. The program was informative, empowering and interactive. We had approximately 100 students from a variety of classes, ranging from nursing to psychology. We also had the men’s baseball team as their coach made the program mandatory.
It was a pleasure working with your company and hope to do so again sometime soon!
