“Coming into your classroom brought back my love of learning in ways that it had not been present before. I felt animated by our classroom discussions and excited to explore the texts you chose for us. Each time we began to go deeper into a piece, I remembered more and more why I love to read, why I love to write, and why I love literature. I truly rediscovered myself through this class after a really difficult year, and I want to say thank you. Your ability to generate a productive learning environment has given me exactly what I needed to love learning again.

Noel first came to Georgia as a Masters student in Spanish literature after graduating with honors from the University of Liverpool.
