It ended up working out though as the change of location ended up being better for Jay and the setup with electricity being right there and not having to be setup.

We look forward to continuing working with you throughout the rest of this semester and those to come. “

Here is what one person text me after the event, “I hope you can tell Will Jay how powerful it was, I’m talking to so many people about it and they all loved it and were touched by his songs and words”. There were multiple messages in the chat during the event last night talking about how amazing his lyrics were, his voice, most importantly students were able to relate in to the messages he was talking and singing about. I think Will Jay has a new fan base here at CMU and they are going to consume the music he has out now – and are eagerly anticipating what he has in store.”

So I know you don’t know me personally, but I thought you should know that you made a difference.”

—Brittney Gilman, University of New Hampshire, Student

“You made an instant connection with the audience and delivered difficult content in a manner that was relatable and not preachy.

Thanks so much for being such a great educational partner!”
