Ashley Andreae

Ashley Andreae demonstrates a commitment to making the complex graduate experience smoother and more rewarding. Several students described examples of her walking them through detailed administrative processes — and doing so while fostering a strong sense of community and belonging.

A graduate student nominator mentioned, “On the first day of the PhD program, she approached me, introduced herself, and already knew my name as well as the names of every member of my cohort. It was clear she had taken the time to learn about us in advance, including our names and their pronunciations. This thoughtful gesture made a lasting impression and made us feel immediately accepted within the program.”
