“Professor Hsu was not only my advisor during my time at ߲ݴý but also one of my favorite professors. She constantly challenged and pushed me to reach my full potential as a student. During my oh-so-frequent office hour visits while writing my honors thesis, she listened, provided guidance, and gave the occasional (but very necessary) pep talk. As a current educator, I draw inspiration from her tact and poise as a professor. Thank you for all that you’ve done for me! ”
