"Dr. Andreatta’s text does a superb job of helping students understand who they are within the context of a larger research university, guiding them through explanations and self-assessments that assist students in understanding themselves as learners--identifying both their strengths and weaknesses--and most importantly how to tap into the vast array of resources available to them as a part of being a student at a research university."

—Christopher T. Wyckoff, Office of Undergraduate Studies, Auburn University
"Dr. Andreatta has been inspiring me as a professional for many years and we modeled our student success course after her book. Britt came to campus to keynote the launch of our advisers’ association. From the many conversations I had with those who attended, Britt motivated and inspired all in the room. She demonstrated a genuine value and deep understanding of the work they do, which is not often felt by many on campus. She was already on a pedestal for me before, but now she has earned ‘sainthood.’"

— Catrina Wagner, Associate Director of Student Housing, University of California at Davis
