Looking for something to brighten your day? Look no further. We recently posed this question to our followers on Instagram: “What’s the kindest thing a professor has ever done for you?” The responses did not disappoint. From doling out high praise on our students, literally giving away their lunches, offering homework extensions, inviting them over for holiday dinners with their families and so much more, there’s no doubt our faculty are some of the best around.
