"I really enjoyed hearing you speak yesterday evening. You said a lot of helpful things that I had not heard yet from UT. Most speeches about 'soft skills' tend to be about the same things, but you introduced new topics and tips that will be very beneficial to us in the future. I also felt that it was very interesting and easy to listen to.
I apologize for having to leave early. I really wanted to stay until the end, but my group meeting interfered.
Once again, thank you for giving us your time,"
