STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

Professor Steichen was the best teacher I have ever had. Having toteach one of the most challenging courses out there, she managedto have everyone motivated for their speeches and also for class.

Professor Steichen is more than a teacher. She is someone whoyou can call a friend. While sitting in her classroom, even whileyou feel afraid to give a speech, she takes every step to ensure thatpeople in the class feel as if they are a family.
