"I really have to say thank you. I am reminded almost on a daily basis how well prepared I was for a Ph.D. program after graduating from Parkside. The kinds of experiences I had doing research and interacting with professors directly have helped me immensely in my program. Anyway, I am not trying to write a commercial for UW-P, I just wanted to let you know that you and the rest of the faculty did a great job and I am thankful."
