Lorraine Sileo, VP Research, PhoCusWright Inc.
Best We Can Be is an amazing program. I have learned so much since I found out about it in the beginning of freshman year in high school. The great thing about it is that it doesn’t only focus on one or two subjects. It can be about a variety of things, which makes it more interesting. We could learn anything from human psychology to cryptography. Not only that, but last year, a couple of us along with Dr. Piliouras partook in the American Society for Engineering Education Zone 1 Conference, w…

TCR’s publications are an excellent resource for all nurses – especially Advanced Practice Nurses (CRNAs, CNMs, CNSs and NPs) – considering the selection of an Electronic Health Record system or learning about the implementation process.
Nadia Sultana, Clinical Assistant Professor, Program Coordinator, Nursing Informatics Master’s and Advanced Certificate Programs, New York University College of Nursing
Best We Can Be is an exemplary implementation of a personalized learning and development process that exploits the potential of digital tools in education. It amplifies a student’s ability to better own their learning and development.
Phillip Dunn, Director of Digital Learning and Technology, Greenwich Public Schools, Greenwich, CT
I was delighted to learn about the Best We Can Be Program because it fills a critical gap in student education: those often-overlooked skills that can make a difference in whether or not a student succeeds in their chosen path. The programs are concise. They appeal because they inform, but they don’t preach. Anyone who has had a teenage child or teenage student knows how hard it is for them to manage their time — developing that particular skill early on will be invaluable. Wouldn’t mind h…
Dr. Nancy Needham, Executive Director, Global Travel and Tourism Partnership
Being a part of Best We Can Be has been one of the best experiences I have had. I have seen so many students benefit from my presentations. The enthusiasm and curiosity that the participants bring motivates me to impart as much wisdom as I can. Afterwards, I love hearing about how I was able to change the lives of the students I spoke with. I have truly enjoyed sharing my knowledge and wisdom with the Best We Can Be program. Best We Can Be gives students the unique opportunity to explore a va…
Holly Robillard, University of Connecticut, Chemical Engineering Major
I’m thrilled with this program. My son has grown and matured and been challenged every step of the way. Through Best We Can Be, he has found confidence and self-assurance on assignments that stimulated and excited him and made his brain work hard. I no longer have to remind him about his weekly sessions. When it’s time, he goes online eagerly and happily.
Deborah Hirsch, Parent
This is quality work that focuses on success factors implementing an Office Practice Management and Electronic Health Records system.
John Moustakakis, CIO, Westchester Medical Center, Hawthorne, NY
Best We Can Be is an outgrowth of a collaboration with our high school. We are always looking for creative ways to give our students innovative, extraordinary learning experiences. This is challenging in a time of tight budgets and a focus on standardized tests. Best We Can Be gives students a competitive advantage and helps motivate them to study subject matter outside their comfort zone. It’s a great program and I recommend it.
Jeanne R. Lauer, Teacher, Administrator for eChalk, Virtual High School, and Certiport Test Center, at Academy of Information Technology & Engineering (AITE) High School, Stamford, CT
An innovative, unique and exciting educational experience. Kids in the program are enthusiastic and engaged! What a unique opportunity to bring the real world of business and careers to high schoolers – my child loved it and learned a lot!
William Berson, Parent of 12th Grader
