Testimonials

Dr. Cindy Parker

Vice President of Online Education, Johnson & Wales University

“We like working with Charla and C-BEN because they bring a level of expertise that can’t be found anywhere else. Their workshops helped give our faculty a more positive view of CBE.”

Dr. Stephanie Davidson

Vice Chancellor, Academic Affairs, Ohio Department of Higher Education

“Having an expert group that I can go to if I need something CBE-related is a great help. It’s nice to have C-BEN out there with the expertise to think through next steps at the state level. They do great work and are willing to ask what is needed and make a suggestion. I’ve loved working with Charla and her team.”
