I decided to do my graduate work at the Woodruff School because it is a great school, has lots of research options, and most of all the real personal touch of the faculty and staff of the school.

I was thoroughly challenged and learned a great deal through my coursework. The faculty was very accessible and I learned a lot through one-on-one conversations. The research options were very broad and I was very happy with the thesis topic I chose. My advisor (Dr. Ben Zinn) and I worked very well together. Also, Dr. Jeff Donnell and the writing program (Frank K. Webb Program in Professional Communication) available for students in the Woodruff School were extremely beneficial.

The major strengths of the graduate program in the Woodruff School were excellent academics, high quality research, all combined with a personal touch and a very pleasant "small school" feel to it. The faculty are very accessible, exceptionally qualified, and the graduate students work well together.

I am very pleased with all aspects of my graduate experience.
