Senior Reflection:I had the opportunity to be in two of Graham Knowles’s classes, Management and Leadership I and II. He has always been very engaging and supportive of me, especially as a student-athlete. Not only does he understand and accommodate our busy schedules, but he is genuinely interested in our lives. When I would run into him outside of the classroom, he would always take the time to engage in a personal conversation. Thank you for your support and your genuine interest in my life and my future success.
Mr. Bob Conway has always been extremely supportive of me as a student and a football player. After a challenging first semester freshman year, Mr. Conway was there to support me and insure I could be successful in the classroom moving forward. He challenged me to get better and provided me with strategies in order to do so. Mr. Conway is one of the most selfless and caring individuals I have encountered in my lifetime. What he does every day for this school and its athletes is unmatched, and he deserves a lot of credit for the success of student-athletes at RPI. Thank you, Bob, for all you do for our individual success as student-athletes." - November 2014
