Dr. Daneri is worth every penny i've spent in loans for grad school.

Its professor's like him that make grad school a wonderful experience.
Its classes like today that make being in Greenville bearable and bring a smile to my face.

So this professor graciously created this course for me & another MAIS student this fall. orginally it was a undergrad class over the Spanish Conquest & Imperialism, but he changed a lot of the course material and adapted it & made it graduate level so we could receive credit. He knows his stuff...he makes class so interesting...like i really feel bad when i havent given very much time to the material because i feel like it does him a disservice.

But not only does he give us great lectures, but he really cares about the 4 of us taking his class-he gives us academic advice, career advice...he's like a life coach. And today he topped the charts: every Tuesday before class starts we usually chit chat about whats going on, how the week is shaping up, etc, etc. so today i mentioned how im stressed about moving & the roommate situation and he offers to help me move...how awesome is that? it amazes me that this man (who is agnostic) exudes so much kindness and hospitality. i mean, he in no way had to offer, but here he is giving me his cell number, telling me that he teaches at 2, but could help anytime after 3 on Friday...just call or email him...he is the greatest.

i wish i could give him an award. i want to call the chancellor and tell him what an amazing faculty member he has in the Foreign Language dept.

three cheers for Dr. Juanjo Daneri!

grace & peace,
alisha
