Dear Scott:

I am a parent of a senior at Smithtown East and also a Nurse Practitioner at Stony Brook for the Peds Hem/Onc department. I didn't get a chance to say hello at the PTSA meeting and we had a business meeting to attend to so I missed you and Judy before you left. I just wanted you to know how enjoyable and interesting your presentations were... thoroughly enjoyed them and very anxious to pass the info on. Even though my son is almost settled in his choice for College, one never knows when things may change.. he is pursuing graphic arts and electronic media, so your presentation gave me "food for thought". Also hope to persuade him to attend the technology fair.

Thanks again.

Sincerely,

Jeanne Greenfield

Dear Dr Sharma:

The Academy of Information Technology (AOIT) at Northport High School is a program designed to inspire and challenge students to become the next generation of IT professionals. During our AOIT Parent Information Night, Scott Passeser and Judy Murrah provided our community with compelling information about the need for IT professionals in America. As a result, interest in our program improved dramatically.

A few days later, Scott spoke to over 500 eighth grade boys and girls urging them to join the AOIT program and consider a career in Information Technology. I thought you might like to know that OPLITE has become an important part of our program. Without first-rate outreach programs like this, programs like ours will continue to be overlooked and misunderstood.

Please accept my deepest gratitude for all your efforts on behalf of our students.

Sincerely,

William J. Claps
Director - AOIT

Dear Mr. Passeser,

Thank you so much for your presentation to the Riverhead PTSO. With your presence we had one of our largest turnouts in quite awhile.

I feel you woke up many parents to the changing world of work and especially the opportunities that are within the Tech field. It is definitely one of the most exciting careers of the future and I am so glad you were able to open the eyes and minds of some families in Riverhead.

We look forward to your student presentation in April when I hope even more students will turn to this wonderful career field. Sincerely,

 

Connie Gevinski
School to Work Coordinator - Riverhead

Thank you for your wonderful presentation. My principal is excited to have a team from OPLITE speak to our students in our auditorium. Let me know when you are interested in coming and I will set up the date.

We really appreciate your taking the time out of your busy schedule and in this case your free time to share your vision for our students.

Safe traveling!

Sincerely,

Lorraine Meyer
