What Students Have to Say:
“Dr. Neary is like a best friend to me. Not many people feel that way about teachers. You are the exception... Your kindness shall never be forgotten….We know that you care about us as students and as people. It shows… You make a difference in our lives.”
Another student sent Dr. Neary a book, Tuesdays with Morrie, with this note, “[This is] a small token of my deep appreciation for your encouragement and guidance. See you on Tuesdays.”
