The students who participated in RLE last wkend have been very good in emailing us their reactions, feedback - all this mind you when they are in the middle of their finals. There were several Microsoft executives who have been following Firenze who were  not at the RLE through our newsletters and a lot of the student emails have been forwarded around through those vehicles.

Here are some samples from the emails that we have received from the students:

"Firenze made me believe that Microsoft is a place I would love to be at, a workplace that embraces my background, values my perspectives & nurtures my ambitions” – Deepika Venkat, Yale

·         “The weekend showed some of the best that Microsoft has to offer, and definitely fulfilled and went beyond "Expect great things". I'm sure that this will be a lasting memory from Tepper that I will be talking about for years.” – Steven Novick, Tepper

·         Hareesh Chander, Tuck:  “Thx for creating such a unique development experience for us. I still can’t get over the huge visibility we had with Microsoft executives, and the valuable feedback I received.”

·         “I hope that I can be a part of it again next year, possibly taking over Jeff’s (Student leader’s) role.”   - Ben Barrington, Cornell (red jacket in photo on the left)
