Denver’s Veteran applicants shared some inspiring words on the impacts of his mentorship : “Denver's diligence and never ending support were instrumental in being able to accurately tell my story to admissions committees. His efforts were key in navigating the often confusing college admissions process. He truly exemplifies all the values that I am sure Service2School as an organization expects out of its Ambassadors. He went above and beyond in helping me achieve my goals and the very least I can do is sing his praises.” – Dalton Simonson, Brown University, Fall 2022

“Denver's support and guidance were the difference between having average essays and excellent essays that truly represent my journey. Dever matched the energy I brought to the writing process and taught me how to be critical and deliberate about my writing. He challenged me in a way that I didn't realize I had to be challenged, and he contributed heavily to my success.” - Noah Courtney, Cornell University, Spring 2023
