Steve Altes

"Steve's keynote speech was hilarious. We didn't want him to get off the stage."
Kate Collins
Vice President, Jones Lang LaSalle

"Many commencement speakers with nationally-renowned names put the audience to sleep. On the contrary, Steve's humor and warmth seemed to connect with the entire range of the diverse student body. In fact, many students took a detour on stage on the way to accept their diploma to tell him his talk touched them in some way. His humor, charisma, and professionalism made the event the best commencement we have had during my tenure. ECC has received a tremendous amount of press from Steve's speech. He truly made our commencement memorable."
Thomas Quatroche
Assistant to the President, Erie Community College
