“The sessions were an excellent investment in my personal development. I upgraded my knowledge of our community, learned new facts and re-contextualized many of my previous beliefs.” – Karen Brimble, Spring 2019
“As a new resident to Austin, “Experience Austin” was extremely helpful as a crash course in learning about so many aspects of the City that I likely would have remained unaware of, had it not been for this opportunity. It was also great to network with such a wide array of other professionals.” – Ann Marie Sanders, Spring 2019
“For those of us who are “Native” or “Naturalized”Austinites, don’t assume you know Austin. Experience Austin is a great way to deepen your knowledge in a factual way beyond reading the headlines and hearing anecdotes. – Anonymous, Spring 2019
