Colleges

Many students have written messages sharing their appreciation for faculty who inspired, encouraged, and supported them through their academic journeys. Here is a sample of some of those messages from each of our colleges.

Art & Science

Professor John Kraybill-Greggo


Year Course was taken: Fall 2024

Subject: SOSW 484 Social Work Practice & Skills II

Messege: Utilizing 140 words to describe Dr. KG's impact on my academic journey feels limiting. My path has been incredibly difficult, but I have waited a lifetime. To encounter someone who has worked equally hard to ensure my success while never doubting me will always be profound. The support and commitment you so freely gave me and always without judgment will resonate with me throughout my journey. Thank you for the endless emails answering my endless questions and always believing in me even when I questioned my ability.

Professor Carrie Maloney


Year Course was taken: Spring 2024

Subject: Fieldwork and Observation

Messege: Dr. Maloney - Thank you for always going above and beyond. You truly care about your students beyond the classroom, and it shows. I am blessed to have met you, and ESU is lucky to have you as well. You are such a special woman and I have learned more than just bookwork from you. I will forever remember Dr. Maloney!

Professor William Loffredo


Year Course was taken: 2022

Subject: Organic Chemistry II and Biochemistry I

Messege: Thank you for supporting me throughout my college career! I don't know if you remember this but one time after I did very well on a quiz you came up to me and told me you thought I would do very well in a chemistry based major. I took that to heart and was inspired that someone I see as very intelligent and kind saw something in me that I couldn't. From there I started my path into finding a love for pharmacy. Thank you so much and God bless!

Professor Steven Boyer


Year Course was taken: Spring 2024

Subject: CHEM493: Research in Chemistry

Message: Being assigned Dr. Boyer as my advisor was the single greatest stroke of luck in my academic journey. The dedication and joy he brings to his position fosters equivalent qualities in everyone around him. As a professor, he is patient, innovative, and wholly devoted to facilitating the success of his students. It is directly due to his efforts that I have not only found my excitement for science but also the confidence to seize every opportunity with which I am presented.

He believes in my potential so undoubtedly that I have come to believe in myself with equal intensity. I earnestly feel that ESU is remarkably fortunate to have him among its faculty as he will have a lasting and positive impact on students for years to come.

Making him a truly memorable professor and valued professor here at ESU.

Being away from my family when I lost my Poppy was so hard, but you didn't give up on me you always checked in to make sure I was okay and I needed that more than you will ever know and for that I am so thankful. Even if it did a disciplinary meeting to get it out of me you didn't let that stop you from realizing I needed someone.

Not only did I love your class but you being able to see me as more than just your student was everything. I have never enjoyed a class or a professor so much, you kept me going when I wanted to give up on teaching, you are one of the many reasons I stuck through these last four years.
