Since Anne has served the Associate Dean for CET, she has been very proactive in optimizing student and faculty support. She goes out of her way to talk to students, staff and instructors and offer her support. She takes time out of her busy schedule to get to know and understand the needs of the departments and programs to whom she serves. I have seen her work effortlessly in just the short time I've worked with her this semester and have been impressed by her outreach.
