On Stephanie Mitchell, Valor Distinguished Professor in the Humanities:

“Professor Mitchell’s class wasn’t a cakewalk for me, but it instilled the importance of communicating with professors, taking advantage of the small class sizes, being open-minded, and exploring classes outside of your major.”
