She encourages students to:
- feel grounded in history while finding relevance between the past and their contemporary lives;
- design and learn from with understanding and empathy for others and embracing differences;
- develop clear communication styles and embrace the simple fact that good communication is an important component of everyday life whether it be through user interface design, research, proposal writing, presentations, creative writing, public speaking, emailing, or texting; and
-accept and provide criticism gracefully.
