  • Thank you SO much for all your help during this crazy, crazy process. I have learned so much from you just by going through this entire process and I am so grateful and thankful for all your support and help. Having gone through this and ultimately being found "not responsible" is one of the best feelings I have had this year and getting an A for the course (and as a result, Deans List with Honors for Fall 2019!!!!!) was just the cherry on top.
