“Dr. Wasser stands out to me as among the best educators as well as one of the most impactful individuals in regards to my academic and professional development.

Dr. Wasser is a professor who is extremely passionate about teaching students. Whenever he speaks in front of the students, his face lights up with a spark in his voice that conveys how he feels about both his job and field of study. I fondly remember how interactive his lectures were and how enthusiastic he was to teach physiology to his students. Additionally, Dr. Wasser always took the time to check up on his students to see if we were meeting our educational goals.

Dr. Wasser even spent time to enrich student education outside of the curriculum to provide additional lectures of interest that were related to his subject matter but also applied to other fields. In a world [rife] with studying solely to excel on an exam, it was refreshing to learn for the sake of learning.

Of note, Dr. Wasser and his programs also emphasized to me the importance of being a mindful and responsible individual. My personal perspective as a future global citizen and lifelong learner has been influenced much by the way Dr. Wasser views the world and how we should try to approach it. Dr. Wasser teaches beyond the lecture hall and ultimately goes above and beyond his call of duty.”
