Most influential faculty or staff member: Dr. Ana de Freitas Boe

Why?: A few months ago, I was having doubts about my decision to major in creative writing. Overwhelmed by my coursework, I thought I had lost interest in writing and literature. …Dr. Boe must have noticed that I was upset. She sparked up a conversation with me, and we got to talking about books. This discussion helped me rediscover my love of literature.
