Comments from Duke students following my lecture:
”I wanted to commend you on a good presentation today. You had mentioned that it was your second speech ever which it more impressive…On a closing note, I have always wanted to be engaged in some entrepreneurial activity, so I hope that I can keep in touch with you in order to learn as much as possible. Thank you for your time today.” – Peter Perez, Duke Senior
“I loved getting the chance to meet you. I really enjoyed your presentation on Monday…You were extremely composed & never flustered (or so it appeared), talked slowly/clearly, and had interesting stories to tell, which kept the class engaged. In short, I thought it was great, and one of my favorite lectures from this Entrepreneurship class.” – Amanda Gramson, Duke Junior
“Cory came out to Duke on Monday to talk to my students, and it was a great success…my students really were impressed by you Cory, and I have been getting plenty of positive feedback” – Professor Nordgren
