Hi Dr. Willis,
I wanted to let you know how much your class meant to me last year. It was probably my favorite class last year and one of best classes I have had in all of school. I really appreciate you letting me come to your class early in the mornings and the grace you gave me when I needed it. I heard of what you and your family are going through and wanted to offer my condolences. Thank you for helping me in so many ways and being such an incredible teacher!

We all support you and wish you the best with the future. We love you! <3

Hi Dr. Willis,
I wanted to let you know how much of an impact you have had on my year. The positivity and effort you put into each class inspires me to work harder. You are constantly engaged and proactive in class, which is amazing especially with how this year has gone. Because of this, research has quickly become my favorite class. I hope this message can help you as much as you have helped me throughout this year!

Hi Dr. Willis,
Thank you so much for all your help and support this year! I was nervous about how research would turn out this year due to being at home, but I've had such a great experience and really appreciate all your help making sure everything works out well. Your class is one of my favorites and I really love how you keep us all engaged, despite seeing most of us through computer screens. I know that you are going through a difficult time right now and I am so sorry for everything your family has been through this year. We miss you and are sending love and support! Can't wait to see you in class soon, we love you!! <33

Hi Dr.Willis,
You are such an inspiration to me because of your kindness, intelligence, and dedication to helping us learn and become better researchers. I was so intimidated by this big research project, but having an amazingly, supportive teacher like you had helped! You’ve shown me that science is science, and it’s okay to try again if something doesn’t work. I enjoy working with you and talking about different thing- research or not- and I love being part of your research class. I hope I (and the rest of the class) can be a source of support for you as you have been for all of us during this time. We love you and we’ll welcome you back with open arms whenever you’re ready.

We all miss you, and we are so sorry for all that you and your family have been through. Wishing the very best for you and your family <3

Dear Dr. Willis,

Thank you so much for sticking with us this year throughout everything. You have been so supportive by meeting with us personally to make sure we complete our projects, and kept us engaged by teaching us about different research equipment and techniques while we were getting ready to go back to in-person learning. We really appreciate all of the time and effort you have put in for us, and we are ready to support you in any way possible.

Thank you so much for everything you've done this year so far, and we just wanted to make this padlet for you as a small token of our appreciation. We can't even begin to imagine what you and your family must be going through, and nobody deserves to go through what you and your family have been through within the last year. We just wanted to let you know that we're waiting for you when you come back, and want you to know that we all greatly appreciate the love and passion you put into our research class and the determination you have to make us all better students. We seriously couldn't have asked for a more caring, passionate, hard working, role model teacher, and you've seriously changed the way we feel about research. Thank you for everything you've done so far, and we are more than excited to finish off the year strong with you <3!!!

Hi Dr. Willis,
I wanted to thank you for being the most helpful and dedicated teacher for our IS10 class throughout this year, despite the unexpected circumstances (with COVID and distance learning). Thank you for always greeting our class with your signature welcome "Hey gang, how is everyone?" and guiding us through sophomore year as we begin exploring our areas of interest for our research projects. We wanted to let you know that we are thankful for having you as our IS10 teacher and  wanted to offer our love and support. We miss you and can't wait to see you again soon!

Hey Dr.Willis, you have been one of my most helpful and thoughtful teachers I have had this far. I would have never been able to make it this far in my research without your time and help. I know this year has been difficult for you and the amount of support you provide us is immeasurable, so as a class we just wanted to show our appreciation. We all love and appreciate you so much!!

Hi Dr. Willis!  Despite this year's difficult circumstances, you've managed to become one of the best teachers and mentors that I've ever had the pleasure of working with.  At every stage of my research, you've offered steadfast support and insightful advice; for this, thank you so much!  I can't imagine the grief and pain that you are experiencing right now and I'm sorry that you have to deal with this during such a turbulent time, just know that you have a group of students whose hearts and minds you have deeply touched and who will lend you the same support you've given us during this trying time.  We truly appreciate all that you've done and understand that you need time; we love you and will be delighted to welcome you back to the lab whenever you are ready!

You’ve always been able to answer my questions and give me the guidance I needed. I genuinely couldn’t get as far as I did without you and I’m so thankful. I don’t know what it’s like to go through what you currently are, but we all love and care about you. Take as much time as you need and when you come back we’ll be so happy to see you again!
