Feedback from Past Undergraduates
“It was working with you that solidified my desire for graduate school and in talking to you throughout our many one on one meetings you convinced me that it was possible for me to get into grad school and to excel. You believed in me, even when I didn’t all the way believe in myself and whether or not I could succeed. You have an uncanny skill in instilling confidence in your students and thus provide them with the will to succeed.”
“Dr. Zollner is a fantastic research advisor, teacher, and mentor. I approached him during my second year of college, interested in doing research. He was always approachable, interested in my ideas, and pushing me to challenge myself and produce the best work possible. Because of him I gained experience doing research, giving presentations at regional and national conferences, and writing a manuscript. Dr. Zollner helped me obtain the confidence I needed to pursue a career in natural resources, and I am certain I would not be where I am now (pursuing a master’s degree) without his guidance.”
“Dr. Zollner was an essential part of my development and success as an undergraduate researcher. Despite mentoring a plethora of undergraduates and graduate students, he immediately involved me in research when I showed interest. My participation was not limited to data entry. In collaboration with one of his graduate students and another undergraduate student, I was able to start a research project related to my interest. I was involved in everything from grant writing to data collection in the field. Dr. Zollner provided me with one on one mentoring to develop my research project in order for me to be successful. The experiences I gained from being involved in Dr. Zollner’s lab led me to pursue research by attending graduate school.”
“Dr. Zollner’s counsel did not end when I graduated from Purdue University. Knowing my desire to start graduate school, he put me in contact with a faculty member at Michigan State University who was conducting research within my field of interest. With his recommendation, I was accepted into Michigan State’s graduate program. Without his counseling I might still be trying to get into a graduate program. In addition, Dr. Zollner has supplied me with countless recommendations for technician positions and recently has written a recommendation letter for my NSF GRFP application. His mentoring and counsel has far surpassed any that I have received from any other professor in my academic career, and despite his extremely busy schedule, he always has time to meet and provide counseling to me and other students.”
