-Jenny Streeter
"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."
