"Professor Gaggin believes in the talents of her students, and lets that be known so her students build confidence in themselves. In her classroom, every opinion matters and every voice is heard. There is a mutual respect in her classroom. These factors drove me to produce my best work as her student because she is someone who inspires me to be my best." - Haley
"Getting to have Professor Gaggin as a professor during my time at Syracuse was life-changing for me. She is one of those professors who found the perfect ground of making lectures engaging and fun, while also being informative." -Kendall
"ACE Communications, a public relations student-run firm, is writing to highly recommend Kelly Gaggin for a future full-time professorship. Throughout the semester Professor Gaggin has filled the role of senior advisor and mentor to our Samaritan Center communications plan, and we feel that her teaching strategies are worthy of recognition."

“Professors that can cultivate personal relationships with students while also imposing a strict set of standards are rare, and I would argue they are the best teachers an academic institution can obtain. Some students struggle and are overwhelmed when there is a high standard of excellence that requires them to work hard. But with an approachable professor, that student has access to an invaluable support system that can reassure them and foster confidence. This dynamic helps students overcome challenges and reach new academic heights. This dynamic is what makes Professor Gaggin one of a kind.” - Joey
“Having Professor Gaggin as a teacher, even for only one semester, taught me the kind of PR professional that I strive to be; one filled with integrity, genuine love for the people around me, and someone who can bring about remarkable change through honest and creative storytelling. Professor G has altered my trajectory, both as a PR professional and a person, and, for that, I am forever grateful.” - Hannah
“The bottom line is this: Kelly Gaggin is incredibly experienced, knowledgable, caring and enthusiastic in everything she does. I cannot recommend her enough not only as a professional, but as a person.” - Nick
