"Emily was always there to offer advice or encouragement. Her priceless counsel and perceptive viewpoints on overcoming the difficulties of being a journalist have remained a constant source of support for me, even after I graduated and started working."

"Emily truly sees the worth in stories, and not just those that are her own. She has never failed to go the extra mile – editing and helping me pitch my stories to publications – over the years, becoming more than just a mentor but also a crucial leader in my life.”

"As a first-generation student, I felt heard and supported by Professor Emily. She has a kind heart and continues to inspire me in my journalism work and personal life, especially through her passion for mentoring others. She genuinely cares about her students and their success."

"Confucius said, ‘One day as my teacher, a life as my father.’ (Maybe here we should rephrase to ‘mother.’) Emily, I am always one of your students, carrying with me profound gratitude and respect for you everlastingly."
