About Retz Lane said, "Professor Retz is an inspiration to me, both in my academic career and my personal life. She is a woman of integrity, wisdom and dedication. Her creative teaching strategies, positive attitude and commitment to students have made a dramatic impact on my educational experience and future aspirations."

About Caldwell Burke wrote, "Penelope Caldwell is an inspiration. She goes above and beyond her expectations as a professor. Not only does she demonstrate profound knowledge in the classroom, but she also leads groups to Honduras each year to help those less fortunate. She is an exceptional professor, and an even better person."

Congratulations to these exemplary faculty members!
