Selected reflections from students I have had the opportunity to mentor
“I hope that I have adequately expressed how much I have learned and grown in these past two years, and much of that is owed to your mentorship and guidance. From ‘scientific writing’ to graduate school advice and heart-to-hearts, you were an indelible part of this journey. And, beyond that, it’s really been a pleasure.”

“I appreciate all the guidance and support you’ve given me over the past year. I learned so much and truly value the experience I had working with you.”

“During my ten months as your research assistant, I have grown enormously both as a scientist and as a person, and I feel that I can attribute that growth to your mentorship. You have molded me into a person prepared for the rigors of doctoral study and I am grateful for the time and energy you devoted to my guidance. Perhaps your most important lessons were not only in statistics or developmental theory, but also in the complex arts of conflict- and time-management.”

“Thank you for…challenging me and getting me ready to start thinking and not just doing; for teaching me SPSS and statistics; for making me a better coworker and manager; for investing so much time and energy in me; for teaching me how to conduct myself professionally; and for treating me like a colleague…”
