"LDI is a symbol of quite a lot of accomplishment. We addressed a lot of issues. From an emotional perspective, we'll recognize it as a symbol of shared experiences. There was a bond that was established between us and I think that's probably going to continue."
	"For me it was a practical experience. It has enabled me to know and see my vision more clearly. Showing my children this [certificate of completion] tells them who their mother is. I feel honored to show off myself to them and tell them I have made it again."
	"Being in this course has been a great gift. I feel so honored to have been able to participate. With that comes the responsibility of now being a leader at the university and being the kind of leader that LDI would like me to be."
	"I feel like the university really gave us something by making it relevant to what we do every day. I wish I would have had this program back when I first started supervising. From a professional point of view I think it was meaningful that it was specific to the university. I come here every morning stressed out, but by the time I leave I'm in a good mood."
	"The ideals that were presented [by LDI] maybe were there and I knew of them, but I just didn't know how to use them."
	"The Leadership Development Institute provided me with the necessary skills I needed to connect with my department. I believe I am now a more accessible manager therefore transforming me into a more effective leader."
	"From LDI there are alot of things I can take back to my office and share with my coworkers, but I've learned alot about myself and my personality and how I handle different certain situations."
	"The culmination of seven weeks and eight days has given me a sense of accomplishment. Many of the models that were introduced, I feel will be very beneficial."
	"One of the important aspects about this course was the camaraderie of the group. To have the bond of the group was a very important aspect for me."
	"This program represents self-awareness that I've never had before. I think I've learned alot of tools that I will take back and definitely share with my other supervisors."
	"When I look at my certificate I feel like I'm connected. I feel very blessed to have met everybody and establish relationships."
