Dr. Adler has given me more of his time and patience than I have had any right to expect and has been an outstanding intellectual steward for seven years. He was the first person I made contact with at the University of Florida when I inquired about transferring from the University of Rochester in 2009 and it has been my great pleasure to develop as a scholar under his tutelage. Dr. Joe Spillane has similarly been a powerful force in my development, serving at various times as my teacher, my advisor, and my career counselor. Success has many fathers and I would like to acknowledge other UF faculty members who have been critical to my success. Dr. Elizabeth Dale has been a continuously supportive presence in my time at Florida, not only serving as a valued committee member, but as a frequent and effective advocate for my best interests while Graduate Coordinator.
