Testimonials
"Thank you so very much for participating in ACE: Achieve a College Education on Friday. Your presentation was a huge hit and I would love to add another one or two sessions next year. The comments regarding your group's presentations from the schools and the ACE UCF volunteers were absolutely outstanding. All involved really enjoyed the interactivity of your session and were so impressed by experiments you did. We even heard them talking about your session later in the day."

"Before Miss Courtney came I was a shy child, I did have somewhat low self-esteem, and my character wasn't really the best it could have been. After my great experience with Miss Courtney, my self-esteem basically shot through the roof!"

-Krista Amico (Director of The Other F Word)
"She is an incredible professor. Class is tons of fun--we play games!--but we learn a lot about acting, too. She is always willing to help and is the sweetest, bubbliest, most energetic professor I have ever had. Take her class if you have the opportunity; you won't regret it."

"Professor Grile is super sweet, fun, and enthusiastic. Her class is definitely not easy, but if you put the time and effort into it, definitely worth it. The readings are mandatory. She will help you and wants to see everyone succeed. I definitely recommend this professor!!!"
