"I was a graduate student teaching and research assistant, in my opinion the best position for a graduate student because it provides the most intensive and closest exposure to the discipline which a student is pursuing."

"I would like to see all alumni of the University consider how they can continue the enrichment of the University for the future benefit of humanity. There are a number of mechanisms in place now to encourage continued engagement, but some which reach out to very new alumni, even before they are in a position to make significant financial commitments, would be effective in promoting continued involvement."

"My academic study was in experimental, sensory psychology and my professional career was in vision research, both as a researcher and a laboratory manager."

"When I consider the faculty, students, staff, the alumni and the community engagement I see so many ways in which the University is a model for higher education nationwide, and possibly internationally. I find that exciting, and feel that efforts along those lines will continue because of the good results to date."
