Auckland International College Former Student
Mr. Stoffer - Thank you so much for what you have done for me. Without you I would not have been able to locate and apply to Ohio Wesleyan University. I would not have been able to achieve what I did. I wish you a lot of good health and happiness. Take care.

Auckland International College Principal
Dave is a passionate counselor. He genuinely cares for the students in his care and believes in every student that he counsels. Dave is a team player and was very well liked by parents, staff and management and was a huge loss to our college. A wonderful person who I personally have a lot of time for and an educator who shows a very good balance between standing up for what is right and being flexible so that the schools needs are genuinely met.

Dear Dave -

A note of thanks, - for the four years of commitment, guidance and wisdom, which you provided to my son. Your roadmap to finding the right college was flawless. Your understanding of what colleges & universities are looking for was remarkable. And the fact that you were able to weave this knowledge together with just the right mixture of support, encouragement and kindness, was heartwarming. You have made a wonderful difference in a child's life.

Thank You,
Adam Jacobs

Thanks for answering all my questions. I certainly do hope you will be available for us next year, we need you! I don't know how I'll get through all the red tape without you.

Well -- we're done!

James is going to XXXXX College!!! Sent a letter, scholarship form, enrollment form, and $300 deposit today --
I anticipate a VERY good night's sleep tonight

I want to thank you for everything. I would have certainly jumped off the tallest building I could find, if I'd had to figure
this all out alone and without you. I hope the Board of Education (Solon Schools) knows what a prize they have in you. You deserve a very LARGE raise. Tell them I said so!!!

Seriously though, I appreciate all you help, patience, and guidance. You were right -- it all works out in the end. James will be getting a terrific education and experiences, and I won't go to the poor house.

All letters of regrets have also gone out.

Catherine made her final decision and she is going to YYYYY University. She went last weekend to register. Thanks so much for the suggestion to visit YYYYY--it ended up being her first choice. They gave her a generous scholarship, which was very nice also. So, now Elizabeth will be a senior at the University of ZZZZZ and Catherine will be a freshman at YYYYY. Once again, thanks for all your assistance and I will write the principal to tell him how helpful you have been.
