University of Pittsburgh Bradford

Some of the students whom I remember the best are the first class of students I had here in the fall of 1989. I still keep in touch with several of those students. They were so patient with me as I tried to figure out what I was doing. I also had a student several years ago who was doing a math major and an accounting minor. She and I became friends and she asked me to be the advisor for the Lambdas, and being their advisor has been one of the best experiences that I have had here. My Lambda ladies are all very special to me. Lizbeth A.
