Jessica Kaur is a shining role model for dedication and kindness through her academic career. From the hours she spent as a peer advisor, to the hours she spent in the lab with me, she has always kept a bright disposition and an analytical approach to problem solving that inspires everyone around her.
Is there a faculty or staff person who made a difference for you? Please name them and briefly tell us why. You can name multiple people.
I owe a lot of the quality of my higher education to Dr. Stephen Petersen. His approach to thinking like an engineer helped me to stop merely taking in information and start applying it, as well as explain it in a way that is understandable to anyone.
We know that this journey has been long. Please tell us about anyone you’d like to thank.
I’d like to thank my mother, Gillian, and my brother, John. Without them, college would have been too overwhelming and it would be hard to stand on my own. I owe them so much and love them even more. Thank you both! I love you from the bottom of my heart!
Any advice for students starting in Fall 2024?
For students starting in Fall 2024 – Do NOT hesitate to go to office hours and reach out to your TA’s. Think of this way: The worst reply you can get to an plea asking for help is “No”, and that is unlikely to happen. It’s worth an email!
