Tell us about one of your success stories that happened in your currently position (regarding a student, a co-worker, a project, etc.): Any time I hear from a student I’ve counseled academically that they’ve turned their academic career around, I consider it a real success. I also write LOTS of recommendation letters for tutors going off to grad school, and I enjoy hearing about their experiences in medical school, law school, grad school, etc. I feel like I’m a part of it.
