“Dr. Kelly was my thesis advisor and a mentor during my time at ؾ. He took me on as an advisee at the end of my sophomore year and helped foster my developing interests in the sciences over the next several years. He gave me opportunities in the lab that I would not have otherwise received, allowing me to sharpen both my academic curiosity and training, and invaluable guidance when it came time for me to begin thinking of life after college. I valued his friendship as much as his teaching and know for certain that both my ؾ life and life today wouldn’t be the same without him. ”
