Professor
Department of History
Professor Carlie Visser was extremely helpful and encouraging during my time in her class. She offered me guidance and understanding throughout my struggles. She did not question why I needed help, nor degrade or belittle me. She empowered me to continue to strive for excellence and that is exactly the kind of support that mental health requires. A little kindness goes an exceptionally long way.

When students ask for help I do my best to provide it. As a grad student and instructor I get that we are all just out here doing our best. I work to create a safe and supportive atmosphere for my students and remember that they have lives and commitments outside of my class. I try to hold space for the messiness of life and remember that kindness and compassion go a long way.
