Comments from
Professors

"Andrew (Bateman) is an impassioned supporter of literacy and
sustainability projects and donates considerable time to student and university
governance." (Bradley Anholt)

"Deanna (Donaldson) has been a fabulous ambassador for our nursing
program setting the foundation for future placements and ongoing work with the
homeless population." (Teresa Petrick)

"…a student and a remarkable motivator and team builder of his fellow
colleagues….. who took it upon himself to make this a once in a lifetime
learning experience for everyone. ….. the intellectual level of his
contributions was simply stunning, almost inconceivable for someone at a third
or fourth, let alone first year, level. Whenever I think back on this remarkable
class, I will remember Joseph (Smith), not merely as an outstanding student but
as the real teacher of the course." (John Dwyer)

"Sarah’s (Young) creative thinking dislodged classmates from their
assumptions. No one saw learning to read in the same way again." (Angela
Rokne)

"Charlie (Giurleo) is mature in his reflections and deftly leads through
participation and team-building; His vision of student participation has created
new initiatives in terms of fund-raising for worthy causes." (Caroline
Storr)

"Jessica (Tang) was proactive in bringing new concepts and interesting
examples of biomedical engineering applications that motivated her classmates" -
"We were surprised and marveled at her personal initiative and leadership in
participating in a challenging anatomical study in animals for which she had no
previous hands-on training." (Andrew Rawicz, Andy Hoffer)
