Dear Lindsay,

It is impossible to imagine a better grad student advisor than you have been for all of us.  I think the most important attribute an advisor needs is empathy for the students that she advises, and you have that in spades!  I spent more time in your office talking about students who were struggling than those who were succeeding.  In every case, you already knew more about the student’s struggles than I did, and your concern and action were always greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much, Lindsay, for all you have done.  We certainly will miss you.

Martin.
