Dr. Rankine was selected to provide leadership training to more than 200 students from across the district. Dr. Rankine was very professional, energetic and knew how to keep over 200 students motivated throughout the entire day. Information shared with the students was something they could currently use, as well as apply to their post secondary endeavors. Dr. Rankine and her team was well received by the students, teachers and DeKalb County's CTAE leadership team.

University Director

It was a safe place to discuss DEI for those who wanted to share and Dr. Rankine did not make it uncomfortable for those who did not. I felt like she covered the topic with much knowledge and common sense that everyone enjoyed hearing or participating in such a relevant topic. I believe that we all came away with some tools to make our world a better place.
