Jim Beck

“I enjoy the relationship with my committee, in general, and my advisor in particular. I think these relationships are what you make of them. I did not initially realize the amount of commitment that an advisor/committee undertakes and have been thankful for their investments in my progress. I’ve been impressed with their ability to provide guidance while also supporting my individual goals.”
