"It was really great luck to have you as my advisor. Without you, I do not know how I can complete my study at the Ohio State. Although I expressed my gratitude before, I continue to feel extraordinarily blessed to have an empathetic and helpful advisor. After leaving OSU, I have started to realize how precious my experience there was. How angel-like people there were! I hope ... everything is working the best for you. Once again, many thanks for accompanying me in my undergraduate study. It has been memorable because of you."

"My advisor is one of the kindest people I have had the opportunity to work with. I am a challenge to say the least, and he has always been so supportive, patient, and helpful. I have worked with him for a number of years now and any time I have ever needed help with anything he has been right there. He has always pointed me in the right direction for what classes to take each Semester. I am very grateful to have him to work with."
[shortened] "I want to thank you for all your help and patience with getting to graduation. You have always answered any questions and have helped point me in the right direction if there was something you couldn't answer. Through my life's transition I really appreciate the assistance I received and support. I never felt comfortable about talking about certain things, but listening to me and encouraging me to communicate with professors ... helped me get to where I am today. Thank you really isn't enough, but I hope you realize how many people you have touched by your genuine compassion and your love to assist students here at OSU. You really make a difference!!"

"[The advisor] was so helpful when my son was struggling with online classes in a difficult major during his first year, in the middle of a pandemic. She was able to offer suggestions and advice, and helped him find classes that would set him up for his new major, which is a much better fit for him. We cant thank her enough!"
