When I was first learning about how to advise, support, and nurture students at the University of Washington, Lindsay, you were a person that I frequently turned to for explicit and implicit guidance. You were always so welcoming, honest, and open to my questions and were so kind to me as a very green professional. One of the things that has stuck with me (still, 22 years later . . .) is how important it is to share yourself with your students, to give them an understanding of who you are as a person, and what your values are. Your office had artifacts from your life that spoke about who you are as a person, and communicated a set of priorities. I’ve taken that lesson with me over the years and I know that our students are better off and the UW is a better place because of your guidance and mentorship over the years. Thank you so much! You are fantastic!
