It Doesn’t Take Much

Last year, a former student of mine sent the following letter about me to the Dean of my faculty.  I told her I would blog it, but sort of hemmed and hawed about it for several months.  Aw heck, why not?  It’s pretty cool.  How many times in life does one actually get a record of such praise?  Thanks, unnamed student who I know is probably reading this 😉

Quite the special one. Says whatever comes to his mind and voices the things people would never say but are definitely thinking. Definitely has the guts to do it all and will do it all. He’s not a professor but sort of like a superhero – professor by day, complete fool by night! Jokes aside, he is definitely one of a kind. It’s almost impossible to evaluate someone who you think of as your friend, mentor, and role model. I really don’t think he needs an evaluation at all. Just come sit in on one of his lectures. And you will walk out amazed, shocked, adrenaline filled, and absolutely smiling.
