"James Fox’s thought-provoking speech on serial
killers was extremely entertaining and captured the audience’s
attention. Dr. Fox did a wonderful job; I am still hearing great
comments." Katie

material compelling.
Merryl Sackin, Greenfield Community College, MA
Dr. Fox took the audience for a
ride they won’t soon forget. His topic “Lessons from the Schoolyard”
really hit home. Sarah
Kay Baumann, Southwest State University, MN
Dr. Fox’s lecture was a great
success. We had one of the best turnouts ever for a lecture
presentation. Dr. Fox kept the audience totally interested the entire
time. I actually had to limit questions because there was too little
time. Dr. Fox was a wonderful person to work with. Dan Fischer,
University of South Dakota, SD
