I am not an Audio major, but I firmly believe that the AES Summit is one of the most important events that Webster hosts. It's the perfect trifecta: it gets students involved, promotes learning in fun nontraditional environments, and makes Webster look awesome.
I was honored to help you guys out.
Thanks again,
May Morrison
THE PRESENTERS:
Just a line to say thank you very much for the invitation to this years AES student summit in St. Louis and the opportunity to present the keynote address at the event. I had a wonderful time while there and enjoyed the interaction with your students and the other guest presenters very much. You have a really nice vibe going on there. I look forward to working with you in the future and wish you continued success.
Thanks again!

Hi Gary,
Now that all the hoopla has subsided, I want to thank you SO very much for inviting me and having me as part of the Webster AES Student Summit.
I got so much out of it myself...meeting new people, making new friends, learning so much! Webster is quite a charming city...and so are it's residents!
You and your students did a magnificent job of producing this event. You all can be VERY proud of yourselves!
The summit was a phenomenal experience for me and I was so impressed and inspired by all the students and their enthusiasm. This is why we are there for them. They are the future of audio and we need them to know that they are responsible for carrying, or bringing back, the quality and integrity of recording. I can't wait to hear what is next in our industry and they will be the providers. I know it's all good, thanks to you and people like you, Gary, who give them the education and awareness of what audio can be.
Again, I can't thank you enough, Gary, for making it possible for me to be a part of such an amazing and inspiring event.
All the Best,
Lenise

Congratulations to you and your wonderful students for putting together a great summit that I, and I believe everyone else, enjoyed, both as an event and as a learning experience. Please give my thanks to all of the students who helped make this happen. At the risk of overlooking many names, please give my special thanks to Jessica, Adam and Randy.
Best regards,
Bob Cordell
I wanted to again say thank you for having the conference. My students were so amped to get back to school AND get back into the classroom. They couldn't believe they didn't come to the conference last year, so they have all agreed to guest lecture at my intro classes and tell them about the conference and what they learned

Gary,
I wanted to thank you and the entire student team that puts this event together. It really is a great thing that you guys are doing and every year it seems to get better and become an even more valuable event. I honestly look forward to traveling to this event...and I travel almost too much already so that's saying something. That hard work, passion, and dedication is evident and makes it easy for me to continue our involvement.
Again, pass on my thanks and heartfelt appreciation to all the students.

I want to echo the positive comments you have received. The Webster student crew this year did an exceptional job throughout the weekend. And so many participants commented that this was the best year yet. It was a truly enjoyable weekend.
I don't think you could have hoped for a much more successful event.
We had a core group of students and visitors who were truly excited about what they heard and whose reactions made all the effort involved worthwhile. If I can have a real connection with a dozen students each year and see them genuinely moved by the presentation and interaction, then I am thrilled. This was achieved this year and we even had a few who proclaimed the Lounge to be a life changing experience for them.
I am truly appreciative of your support and hospitality. Please convey my thanks to the University for all that they have done for your students and for your visiting students.
But of far greater importance is the conveyance of my deep appreciation to all in your Student Chapter for their extraordinary and most successful efforts.
Kindest Regards,

Dear Gary:
Webster's AES student summit is rapidly becoming the premier educational opportunity of the Midwest in the Spring, with students, schools, and professionals coming from all over the country. It is quite a bargain for students and exhibitors!
Let me join the chorus of many who are praising your efforts and co-ordination for the 2011 Webster AES Student Summit. As a 'first-timer' I wasn't exactly sure of what to expect, and was very pleased that we were able to exhibit, and that I was able to contribute to a few panels. I think the whole event went extremely well, and we would be happy to return next year. I really enjoyed meeting your faculty, staff, and students, and look forward to a long-term relationship with your school.
Thanks again and bravo!
Best!

What a great success! Anyone who missed it should not fail to attend next year to share the excitement. I eagerly look forward to what's ahead in 2012, because none of us ever stops learning and growing.
Gary Gottlieb has so rightly credited Webster's amazing AES student organization (too many names to mention here) for its energy, talent, teamwork, and professionalism in making the event run with big-time precision, but it was his spark that lit the fuse, and everyone who loves audio is reaping tremendous benefits. Thank you, Gary; we truly appreciate your vision and leadership in audio education.
Thank you all one more time.
Best,

Gary,
You significantly raised the bar. What a great weekend. Please give kudos and thanks to Nate. His crew was as good as it gets. They were simply great in every way!
I hope the students got as much out of it as I did. I think all of my seminars went well and there was some great questions there. BR,
Scott Esterson
PS: We are in for next year.
