Associate Professor David Johnson

Associate Professor David Johnson

“Dr. David Johnson is simply the best! He is incredibly thoughtful and encouraging of difficult dialogue in the higher education space. Often, we have to insert ourselves being part of the small but mighty higher education administration concentrations, but not with Dr. Johnson. He is brilliant and such an advocate for higher education policy change with the power of empirical evidence to support it. Thank you to our bright and shining star, Dr. Johnson!” -Leslie Gillett, educational leadership doctoral student

Clinical Professor Rhina Fernandes Williams

Clinical Professor Rhina Fernandes Williams

“Dr. Rhina Fernandes Williams’ class was one that pushed me out of my comfort zone. We held a variety of discussions based on our readings and class work, which included topics such as inequalities, how culture and education interact, educational policy and critical pedagogy. Sharing my thoughts with my peers was something I have always had a hard time with, but Dr. Williams was able to cultivate an environment where I felt extremely comfortable in doing so. She is a professor I will never forget because I always knew that she genuinely believed in and cared for me. If anyone ever has her as a professor, I can promise you that she will be tough, but you will be better because of it!” -Raegan Claridge (B.S.E. ’24), early childhood and elementary education graduating student

Assistant Professor Janie Copple

Assistant Professor Janie Copple

“I am fortunate enough to have Dr. Janie Copple introduce me to the world of qualitative methodologies. Her class on Thursday evenings remains a therapeutic space for me and my colleagues as we address our interview participants, research inquiries, reflexivity and subjectivities. I have enjoyed my conversations with Dr. Copple in the track changes of my assignment documents. She makes me feel every word I say is paid attention to and valued, every effort I make is recognized and every question I ask is responded to with her expertise.” -Hongjjie Guan, educational policy studies doctoral student

“I am grateful for the presence of Dr. Min Kyu Kim in my academic journey. His role as a professor, mentor and advisor surpasses mere competence; it embodies excellence and genuine care. Dr. Kim masterfully combines his academic expertise with a supportive approach, encouraging a learning environment rich in scholarly advancement and emotional and mental well-being. His devotion to our comprehensive growth – treating us with the care one would show their own children – goes far beyond the conventional scope of academic duties. As an international student, Dr. Kim’s support has been transformative, profoundly impacting my life in ways I could never have imagined. Beyond mentorship, his guidance and behavior has equipped me with invaluable life skills. I count myself exceedingly blessed to have experienced the guidance of such a distinguished mentor. Dr. Kim’s influence transcends the classroom, leaving an enduring impression on our hearts and minds.” -Lia Haddadian, instructional technology doctoral student

Associate Professor Kristina Brezicha

Associate Professor Kristina Brezicha

“The course materials we have engaged with in Dr. Kristina Brezicha’s class are both academically and emotionally challenging. However, she successfully created a safe community space for the eight of us to critique, reflect, laugh and sigh together. With Dr. Brezicha’s guidance and leadership, we feel closer to each other as ‘academic accountability buddies’ (in Dr. Brezicha’s words) and emotional supporters.” -Hongjjie Guan, educational policy studies doctoral student

Assistant Professor Lauren Beasley

Assistant Professor Lauren Beasley

“Dr. Lauren Beasley from the sport administration graduate program is one of my all-time favorite professors. She taught the class with a lot of love and understanding, while talking about very difficult subjects and what it really means to work in the sports world. I experienced some difficulties, and thanks to her teaching and the resources that she introduced in the class, I was able to be more prepared for what I was going through. I was able to learn so much during her Cultural Aspects of Sport class and will take those lessons beyond the sports world and for the rest of my life!” -Sara Silva, master’s student in sport administration
