“Linda is one of the most exceptional colleagues I have had the pleasure to work with throughout my time in higher education. Her dedication to student success—both in the class and outside its walls—is peerless, With her dynamic blend of kindness, passion, and intellect, Linda's aptitude for building close relationships with students from a wide variety of backgrounds and learning styles has fostered years of successful programming that both faculty and students alike have benefited.
When I felt as if a student was not managing his or her time well, Linda was there to help. When I felt as though a student might be experiencing trouble outside the classroom in his or her private life, be it on campus or at home, Linda was there. But more importantly—and what often goes unrecognized—are the countless number of times students arrived at class fully prepared for discussion and confident in his or her self because of Linda's preventative intervention early on.”
