Professor Spooner provided me with numerous tips that eased my transition to college. After speaking with her and utilizing her strategies, I entered school confidently and had a fantastic first-year experience. I have stayed in touch with her for additional guidance and suggestions and I look forward to her pep talk at the beginning of each semester.

I was fortunate to connect with Professor Spooner as one of my professors at Boston University. I not only learned an incredible amount from Professor Spooner as a professor but, as a mentor, she has also given me invaluable advice about my academic potential, career exploration strategies, and personal development. I wish I had known Professor Spooner before college, but I am so grateful for my ongoing relationship with her.

Professor Spooner has guided me through multiple scheduling, academic, and even social conflicts throughout my first year of college. I can confidently say that she has allowed me to maximize my academic potential at Boston College, and she continuously pushes me to better myself and apply myself to different areas of academia. I feel comfortable and respected when speaking and meeting with her which creates a fantastic environment for mentorship. She has been such a helpful resource and advisor to me in my freshman year at BC, and I definitely see that continuing throughout my remaining years as well as after graduation!

As a sophomore at a local private university, Professor Spooner helped me to navigate the college transfer process, which was overwhelming at the time. I was at a crossroads and we worked together on making a decision that was right for me.

Luke Combs once said, “This guy sat beside me in a barstool in North Carolina. He is one of, if not, the best human beings I have ever met in my entire life. He’s talented, he cares about other people, and he helped me when he didn’t have to." There's not a more fitting way to describe Professor Spooner.
