From a student in “Dante for English Majors,” Spring 2012:

“… I just wanted to thank you for such an inspiring semester. I feel that on my journey through Dante I came to discover myself in a way as I never would have otherwise and I now view the world in a more curious and wondrous fashion. I never would have been able to be so touched by this work of art if you had not led us so effectively and passionately as I know only you could. So thank you again for all you provided me and the rest of my peers in the brief time we shared together.”
