Once the news was out, the Student Affairs Office was showered with messages of congratulations and appreciation from JI’s leaders and faculty. Gang Zheng, Associate Dean of the Undergraduates, remarked, “We take everything related to our students seriously. This makes your job an extremely important part of the JI function…We all know how complicated, stressful, time consuming, and in some cases even tedious the work in student affairs can be. The awards not only recognize your efforts in this part of the JI, but also indicate your great contribution to JI’s success. “

Horst Hofberger, JI’s mathematics lecturer and Chair of Faculty Committee on Discipline, wrote, “As an instructor, I often rely on the student affairs office for advice and help when dealing with issues of individual students and I am without exception impressed by the support I receive. Furthermore, the student affairs office plays a vital role in selecting the students comprising the Honor Council and coordinating between the Council and faculty. Thank you very much for your hard work!”
