The psychology department has used immense amounts of empathy for their students and community during this difficult time. They are already the nicest people, but the way they have treated their students as humans first and students second during this collective trauma has truly made a difference. Thank you Dr. Angel, Dr. Honzel, Dr. McManus, and Dr. Nolen. <3

I just wanted to thank Professor Berglund for caring about her students. She is constantly reaching out and checking in on how we are doing.

Thank you for caring about your students and still being an amazing professor :)) We appreciate you!!

ANZ Students

2020-04-09 20:22:09 UTC

You are the heart and soul of the department and you inspire us to teach you and be present regardless of the state of the world. Nothing brings me more joy then sharing a Zoom with you. We will all come out of this so much better than we started. But until then lets keep planning for the future. There are some mighty amazing projects coming up that I know we're all going to love being a part of. Much love!

Thank you to the Professors!

Thank you to everyone around campus who has checked in to make sure the students are taken care of! We appreciate you all!

Many or ALL of Carroll's professors have gone out of the way to accommodate their students during these trying times. Without the communication and understanding with - and commitment to - the students, we all would be in a much more difficult and confusing place!

2020-04-12 07:46:58 UTC

Thank you for taking the time to actually see your students even through a computer screen.

It's so nice to have a professor who cares so much about his students!

Professor Berglund
