—From Kenechi—

Thank you so much Dr. Schaefer!

I am so grateful to have been able to graduate with my PhD with your advisement. Your unconditional support really encouraged me through this process, and I appreciate your patience and flexibility as my research introduced new complexities for the both of us.

I decided to take on the project of re-doing your website to show my appreciation, and I hope you like what I put together (with Marcelo’s awesome cover photo).
