". . . (she) drew me to the
major because of her vast knowledge and excitement about
recreation (tourism).Over the years she took every
opportunity to help me succeed in my educational and
professional pursuits. Patty met with me multiple times per
semester to make sure I was on track academically. She gave
me contacts and references when searching for internships.
She even advised me on my honors project, spending hours
meeting with me and reviewing my work, all while on
sabbatical. Patty went well beyond what I would expect of
any faculty member. Her genuine interest in my success not
only touched me personally, but also drove me to reach my
greatest potential. She is the epitome of what a college
professor should be."
