"Dr. Cogswell is in one word: AWESOME. We hired here at BW (Baldwin Wallace University) to provide a series of assessment workshops to introduce concepts of the work to leadership and greater division with the ultimate goal of developing a division annual report template. She was prepared, patient and knowledgeable. The topic of assessment can be overwhelming and intimidating. Dr. Cogswell provided a great experience that will benefit the division for years to come.”
