FLASHCHAT HIGHLIGHT "My conversation with them convinced me that our nation’s best days lie ahead of us. Anyone who interacts with these students would realize that the stereotypes one hears about young Americans is way off the mark. I cannot think of a more rewarding program." 2019 | DREAMWAKERS
Just a few days after their virtual conversation, Professor Knott sent the entire class a copy of his book.
FLASHCHAT HIGHLIGHT "I worked in the private sector, I worked in sales for apple computer for a few years, and then September 11th happened and for me that was really my call to serve. I wanted to serve my country in some way and I came across the foreign service by accident from someone I used to work with--and I just thought this is just the most amazing career I had ever heard of." 2019 | DREAMWAKERS
FLASHCHAT HIGHLIGHT "Keep an open mind and think big about the things that you might want to do, the topics you might want to explore, the subject matter. Read about these things, look into these things but keep an open mind because you’re so young, you have so much room to grow and to experiment, and to try different things."

TEACHER TESTIMONIAL What would you do to improve your DreamWakers flashchat experience?
Nothing. My students loved the experience especially since almost all of my students will never have the opportunity to speak with someone who has gone into the field of Presidential History. Heidi Mallory, 8th Grade Teacher Murray Middle School, KY 2019 | DREAMWAKERS
TEACHER TESTIMONIAL In what way did your flashchat add value to your class?
My students were able to interact with a professional in the media world. It helped them realize that their dreams can come true, too! Kelly Pearce, Journalism Teacher Lincoln Middle School, NM 2019 | DREAMWAKERS
TEACHER TESTIMONIAL The speaker was an excellent match for my class and we loved hearing the information he shared [...] It gave depth to the material we were studying and it gave the students a new appreciation for studying history and writing objectively. Kris Larson, 12th Grade AP Government Teacher Central High School, MO 2019 | DREAMWAKERS
SPEAKER TESTIMONIAL I loved the experience and thoroughly enjoyed speaking with the students. They were so well prepared and engaged and I've already recommended the program to my friends and hope to be asked to do another chat soon. So rewarding! Ahiza Garcia, Breaking News Reporter CNNMoney, Brooklyn, NY 2019 | DREAMWAKERS
SPEAKER TESTIMONIAL Great questions, engaged students. Really a terrific experience. I wish all these students nothing but the best. This experience gives me great hope for the future. Stephen Knott, Professor of American Government and Politics United States Naval War College, Canton, MA
