Hi everyone! My name is Sukanya (you can call me Dr. M) and I will be teaching you this semester :) I graduated with a Ph.D. from Michigan State University (#GoGreen!) Although I miss the Midwestern summers (and the water activities!), I'm glad I don't have to face so much snow anymore.

I look forward to knowing you all more this semester :D

Dr. M (again! :)
