"The advice I share with students is a sentiment that I have always tried to live by in my academic life, and which I've heard Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, express as: Intelligence is a gift; kindness is a choice.
"I am slowly easing into retirement. I had the privilege and honor to lead the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics for five years. I had the fortune of working with amazing students, great colleagues and a terrific staff. I could not have wished for a better or more supportive dean. I'm so proud of where our department has been and where it's headed."
