Michele J. Gelfand

As you prepare to transfer to Stanford Business School, I would like to say thank you for being so supportive and for the guidance you gave me. I was nervous about joining the Ph.D. program and had some confusion about the journey but coming to your office and speaking to you about my concerns always gave me some clarity and direction.

Given what has been going on in Ethiopia with the war on Tigray, you reached out to me with a note of support and reiterated that all of SDOS stands with me at this time of crisis. This meant a lot, thank you! You are highly supportive which is invaluable for those of us in grad school. Although it is difficult to see you go, I wish you the best of luck with all your future endeavors.
