Vera Adams
(BSU Planning Instructor)
"As a sophomore in my PLAN202 Site Planning and Design studio,
Ryan distinguished himself as a hard working, intelligent team leader who initiated research quests to deepen his understanding and to experiment with alternative designs, methods and systems. During that sophomore year, he developed a planning process of research, analysis, alternatives and decision-making that he can depend on. In that time I came to see that Ryan embraces failure as well as success to advance his learning objectives. Through out the semester he developed different presentation formats until he got it just right. No one else put in the thought or effort, or reaped the rewards. His commitment to the profession of planning is personal; his goal is to best himself and provide the best possible for his client communities."

Byron Ballard
(BSU Career Center Customer Service Assistant)
"Imagine having a student employee work in your department for two-thirds of their college career. This student would be so faithful and committed to their work they help make improvements to the workplace. He fulfills his responsibilities in the office while promoting the department in classes and other outside activities. Envision someone who always goes the extra mile, never complains and is respected by both full-time staff and his fellow student employees as being the most outstanding provider of customer service. Add the fact that this student has a 3.5 grade point average and you have just been given a small sample of the greatest student employee I have ever been privileged to work with. I have only covered the surface of how incredible Michael Ryan Sagar is as an employee, leader, person and “future builder of cities.” I can say, in my fifteen years of supervising student employees, with four university student employees of the year, Michael is the greatest student employee I have ever had the privilege of working with. I am honored to have his work and service."

(BSU Career Center Office Manager)
"I think what stands out most to me about Ryan is how he takes initiative. He is always listening and picking up on new things he can share with students who visit the office. He is always thinking one step ahead. Ryan is also very positive and energetic. He always has a smile on his face and is pleasant to work with. Although his curriculum keeps him very busy and often under lots of stress, Ryan is always focused on his career center task when he is here and strives to do more than asked of him every day."
