My professors have a palpable passion for their respective fields. I can always feel their excitement about the material and have always gotten the impression that they want me to succeed.

The faculty here are so interested in encouraging the development of students, even if those students are in a different department. I’ve never felt anything less than supported in conducting interdisciplinary work.
