How did Dana help prepare you for your career or graduate school?
Dana helped me prepare for my future by giving me the necessary background in all factes of both life and education. This background made it easy to adapt my knowledge to any subject of interest and to be able to interact with people from any background or discipline. I have also taught statistics for almost three years, and by implementing the lessons I learned from watching some of the best professors in the nation at Dana, I have been able to achieve perfect marks on both student and faculty evaluations.

What do remember most about your time at Dana?
The people. During my time at Dana I met some of the most impressive people that I believe I will ever meet. Whether it was on the athletic field, in the classroom, or just walking around campus, I was always proud to be around such an extraordinary cast of faculty, staff and students.
