The Impact of a Testimonial
A testimonial is a personal reflection on how an opportunity or experience has made a difference in your life.
For students considering college, hearing from someone who has walked a similar path can be incredibly encouraging. Your story can help future students believe that their goals are possible.

Seeing the person behind the story can make an even stronger impact.
If you are comfortable, we encourage you to include a photo with your testimonial. Below, you’ll find helpful guidelines to ensure that your photo and testimonial look great.
If you’d prefer not to include a photo, you may submit your testimonial only.
Good Lighting
Choose a clear and well-lit image.
Clear & Simple Background
Choose a neutral background such as a plain wall or outdoor setting with no identifiable markers.
Focus on Your Face
A headshot or waist-up photo works best. Natural smiles and relaxed expressions welcome!
Dress Neatly
Business casual or a clean, simple top is perfect.
