Testimonials.
Stories of success and gratitude.
Gratitude.
“I greatly enjoyed our chats a few months ago and, as promised, I am reaching out with an update. A few weeks ago, I committed to the Informatics PhD program at UIUC for which I received a total of three fellowships. I am very excited and look forward to getting started in the fall. Particularly, I wanted to say thank you for your guidance and help. This was instrumental in helping me determine my academic path going forward, as well as better conceptualize my own research interests. For this, I am very grateful.” -ET, IL, USA
On Dissertation Support
“Dr. Daniels worked with me patiently and thoroughly from the beginning to the end of an unexpected long dissertation editing journey. Due to some life circumstances and then roadblocks with ProQuest ETD, I found myself having to submit my edits within rigid deadlines. Months after having worked with Dr. Daniels on my dissertation, I contacted her to request her services once again, but this time with a restricted time frame. She did not once hesitate to assist me and worked with me diligently. I live in California, and regardless of the different time zone, Dr. Daniels was always flexible. I truly appreciate Dr. Daniels's genuine and kind attributes. I am blessed to have had Dr. Daniels' unconditional support and guidance”- SV, CA, USA
On Teaching Writing
“When I saw this course announcement, I jumped on it without thinking twice. I naively thought that it would not require more effort than a conversational English course...wrong! I invested much more time than anticipated, and I'm glad I did it! Can't wait to work on my first "official" publication! I feel like a pirate with a knife between my teeth, ready to jump on that merchant ship!”

Recent Doctor
I am incredibly grateful to my committee chair, Dr. Emily A. Daniels, and offer my sincere appreciation and thank you for her advice, mentorship, patience, graciousness, and commitment. I owe my program completion to her, especially after becoming my committee chair after my previous chairperson left the program. Dr. Daniels is truly an example of the service to education I hope to achieve.

Relationships.
Dr. Daniels places great importance on her relationships with students. Throughout our time together, she has proved to be a great mentor, guiding me and providing support when I was in need. Additionally, she is one of the few professors that I have personally encountered who was able to create a warm and friendly group dynamic among students that has transferred to situations outside of the classroom. When you are a part of Dr. Daniels’ class, you are part of a team of learners, whether or not you’re in the classroom. – Danielle, NY, USA
