Martin "Randy" Cox, Communication Studies
Professor Cox is one of the kindest and most humble professors I've had the pleasure of learning from during my time at UT. He is always open to answering students' questions--not matter how ridiculous--and I always look forward to attending his class. Someone referred to him as "the best professor ever," and he responded with "never say that again." That about sums it up. Anyways, thank you for being great, Professor Cox! -Anonymous

Professor De Lissovoy made me feel truly excited to come to class which is something I've never experienced before. His class always had such riveting discussions that I actively wanted to participate in and he made sure that everyone's opinions were heard and understood. Further, he made me feel really special in his class and inspired my love for writing again after many years of seeing it as a chore.

Thank you Professor Eastin for being such an engaging and supportive professor! I was in ADV/PR 309 last semester and I would not have enjoyed the class as much as I did if it were not for the way you taught!

You could tell that you genuinely cared about your students and that made such a difference. Your students appreciate that so much so THANK YOU!!  -Anonymous

Kathy Fuller-Seeley, Radio, Television, and Film
Hi Professor Kathy! Your 308 class was the first in my Media Studies minor, and it changed my life and inspired my passion for RTF! You may remember me as the girl last semester with her head down, writing down every single word you said in lecture (and I have the notes to prove it) because I was so fascinated by everything you said, and I learned so much. Your incredible knowledge of media history and genuine connection to your students made your class so enjoyable and a huge motivation and inspiration for me. You're my favorite professor I've ever had, and you deserve all the recognition!  -Anjana Moorthy

Thank you so much for being a great advisor. When I first came to Moody, I was nervous about my future career path, but I've had a much easier transition with someone like you to advocate for me.

I hope everything is well, and again, thank you. -Anonymous

Karissa Hernandez, Communication Studies
I like the way you interact with us on our level. Sometimes lectures feel more like a conversation than being talked at for 50 minutes. I also like the in-class activities. At first I groan about having to get up, but I actually found out I really like talking to the other people in the class and working with them. I haven't had something like that since COVID, as simple as it sounds. I also love hearing the updates on your niece. I hope your dissertation goes well!  -Anonymous

Sam James, Communication Studies

Brad Love has been a professor of mine for only this semester, but he has made an impact. He cares about his students and it shows deeply. It is evident that he gives 100% of his effort and sincerity in all aspects of his life. He exceeds the bounds of teaching by spreading both his knowledge in PR and sharing guidance on the importance of a balanced life, at the same time. He cares about his students and their well-being, and I would like him to know that we also care about him and his. Enjoy the break, you deserve it! -Anonymous

Hello, I took your organisational communications class last spring semester and I just wanted to thank you for being a supportive and understanding professor. It was the first communications class I had taken 
at UT — my mom's thought I would like it... I did! Taking your class inspired me to pursue that field professionally and seek opportunities in that area, leading me to accept a communications/marketing internship role at a leading university in Kenya over the summer. Your couse content helped me navigate and earn incredible opportunities there. Thank you. :) Regards, Xavian Panjwani

Thank you for instilling in me the inspiration to reach for the stars. While I took CMS306M quite some time ago, I still resort not only to the course concepts and public speech principles you taught but also to the passion and confidence I gained throughout the course. You took the time to answer all my questions, offered kind yet precise feedback, and motivated me to apply such concepts outside of the classroom in a speech competition. Thanks to yoru coaching, I placed as a finalist! All of that and more inspired me to invest at UT and in myself, ultimately shaping the student I am today! -Daniella Nassar

Your Roy Peter Clark book recommendation has helped me tremendously in my writing! Thank you! -Anonymous

Ladd embodies all the core values of the Moody College of Communication through his work as a career counselor. I’ve been working with Ladd for three years, and I have witnessed his love and passion for the college and its students.

Ladd is the primary reason I tell prospective students on tours that Moody is the best Communications School in the nation. Without his guidance and wisdom, I would not be where I am today.

Prof. Kocher is one of the best teachers I've had. Her classes are engaging and it's clear she cares about her students individually. I honestly was pretty nervous about taking an editing class but now I look forward to it. I also feel like I'm actually learning a valuable skill for my future in her class, and she has done a good job of personalizing the editing process so it feels like I get to make creative choices. She also has taught me the value of organization and preparation, something I previously took for granted. Will definitely look to take another class with her again soon. - Anonymous

Sean LaBounty, Advertising & Public Relations
I don't think I've ever had a teacher so inspiring and supportive. Even on projects or ideas that I thought were lost, I left every office hour or brainstorming session more excited about my idea than when I came in. His energy, humor, and brains made me look forward to every class, and I feel reassured in my decision to pursue Creative Advertising. Sean has nearly 24/7 office hours, spends days preparing for critiques and compiling our work, and liaisons frequently between students and job opportunities. It feels like he is really on our "team," and I can't say that about every teacher. - Anonymous

Hi Richard! I just wanted to say thank you so much for being such an amazing professor and pushing me to be the best I could possibly be when it came to every aspect of creating my thesis film. I'm in LA now interning for two companies (doing mostly boring stuff) and pretty much everyday I think back to shooting Alfie and Gully for your course and screening it at the Union. It was so much fun and one of the most fulfilling things I've ever done. I pretty much already knew that's what I wanted to do with my life but you helped cement it. I can't wait to do it all again.

She's really everything you could want in a professor and I will definitely try to take another class of hers soon! - Kassandra Araque

I adore your work ethic and the energy you put in with everything you do. It is the women like you and the others in Moody, that are paving the way for other students (especially women) who identify with marginalized groups. You bring a rich insight to higher education and I cannot wait to see everything you accomplish. You have studied the lack of belonging students feel in Moody, but I hope you know that you have provided part of what you seek. You have given students the chance to be heard and share their stories, which is way bigger than it may seem. Thank you so much for always listening! - Abigail Meir

Thank you so much for making learning both fun and interesting! I have always had an interest in politics, however, I never knew how to start learning about officials and policies without falling into a wormhole of confusion. In your class, I learn so much and even find myself going home and researching the topics and speakers that you bring to the class. I have found myself being able to hold my own in discussions about politics and make informed judgements. That is all I could ask of a professor. You're amazing at what you do, thank you! - Anonymous

I just want to let you know how much I appreciate the way you operate your classroom. You foster such fruitful discussion and are so good at affirming what each student brings to the conversation. You truly listen to what we have to say and allow that to direct where some of the discussions go, which is so refreshing not only to witness, but also to be a part of. You ease the fear/nervousness that comes with speaking up in class through your receptivity to what we have to say and I seriously cannot thank you enough! I hope to have you as my teacher in the future! Thank you for all that you do! - Kingsley Cashion

Last year, I honestly felt like I was going through a crisis trying to decide whether Advertising was the right major for me or if I should be transferring into a completely different school at UT. Upon taking Intro to Advertising Creativity over summer, I felt so much more passionate about my major all thanks to Professor LaBounty. He made the class so fun and I felt so accomplished upon his complements on my team's talents and knowledge. Even though it was only a 5-week online course, he truly made me so excited to be going into this field and I couldn't be more grateful. - Hallie LoFrisco

You have been one of the key reasons why PR305 has been so amazing! Outside of being encouraging, you help students WANT to learn. It can be scary starting a new major/subject matter not directly tied to any previous high school courses. Still, through both your and Dr. Junker's help, Public Relations is presented as a facet of creativity. PR was presented as a pioneer land of opportunity rather than a dubious terrain filled with high-stakes responsibilities. Both of those aspects can be true, but getting to see why people love what they do firsthand is a gift I'll always appreciate. - Dagmawit (Demi) Worke

Ben Bays, Radio-Television-Film
Thank you for being such an upstanding professor! I appreciate the evening office hours, your upbeat attitude, and willingness to answer questions that aren't directly related to the class material. Every time we have a conversation, I learn something totally new. Not only have you engaged me with your class, what I've learned thus far increased the quality of work in my other classes as well. :D To top it all off, you always present yourself with the most welcoming smile and encouraging attitude, which is what I need during this pandemic. I hope to be as great of a professor like you one day. - Roxanne Springman

Tamara Bell, Advertising & Public Relations
Professor Bell is hands down the best professor I have had so far in college. I believe she will still be by the time I graduate. I dreaded taking journalism until I was actually in her class. She is so smart and she conveys what she is teaching better than any teacher I have had. She is encouraging and goes the extra mile for her students. She teaches in a way that her students can take what they learn and apply it in her class and in the future. I am so thankful I took her class and had her as a teacher. She has taught me so much I will take with me in my career. - Jamie Burns

Fan Yin is the most dedicated, caring, and supportive TA I have ever had. She has been an amazing resource throughout this semester. Throughout all the challenges we've faced this semester, she has been so thoughtful in accommodating to our needs. She goes above and beyond in every break out session to not only review materials from the course, but welcomes any and all questions which she answers in thorough detail. Her approachability has made the biggest impact on my success in this course. I could not thank her enough for giving me such a positive perspective on learning and growth! - Hailey Shuman

Robyn Croft, Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences
I didn't even have a class with you this year, but out of all of the professors I have had you are the one that stood out most to me. I took Phonetics with you and it quickly became my favorite topic I have learned about in SLH. You were caring to your students and goofy and it made the class time something I really looked forward to. Out of the three years I've been studying here, you were the one that made me really excited for the path I was on, so much so that I would show anyone I knew how I could transcribe words that they said haha! Thank you for being so great! - Lea Bohnenberger 

Joe Cutbirth, Communication Studies
I am still thankful for the effort you put into pivoting your Leadership Stories class, especially due to the changing social landscape in summer 2020. It was literally life-changing as I have now gone on to recognize and am actively building my own leadership story. Hopefully making that last assignment in the class a reality for myself. I am constantly learning about others' experiences and how challenging it is to lead. There is much leaning into vulnerability, courage, and self-acceptance. Thank you for your insistence on the meaning of words & guidance to dig deeper into people's lives. - Anonymous

Tracy Dahlby, Journalism and Media
Thank you for your tutelage and mentorship. Fundamental Issues and Long-Form Feature Writing were the bookends to my academic career at UT. Your experience and wisdom motivated me to overcome my own doubt and insecurities. The discussion of 'psychic income' early on hinted I was in the right place at the right time. While in your classes I felt seen, accepted and ready to commit to my career and growth. Outside of class I appreciated your kind hellos and our candid conversations during office hours. I'm grateful you are a part of my story and I hope we stay in touch! - Anonymous

Professors that truly care like you are few and far between. You will always be a large part of my life journey. Thank you! - Kylan Perry 

John Daly, Communication Studies
Dr. Daly is one of the most engaging professors I have ever had the pleasure of learning from in my academic career. He cares so much about each of his students (even though there are typically over 300 people in his Interpersonal Communication course) and really focuses on using examples of class concepts that are not only relevant but intensely funny. I always looked forward to going to his lectures the most out of any of my other classes; Dr. Daly crafts a really wonderful learning environment and I would jump at the chance to take another course that he teaches! - Julia Bennett

Her research is compelling to read; always an insightful look at health communication from a perspective that fosters her inherently empathetic character and demeanor. Professor Donovan's dedication to her students is undeniable. She is an exceptional communicator, scholar, and role model. I'm thankful to continue learning from her long after I've left her class and wish her a wonderful Thanksgiving! - Hussain Alkhafaji

Sascha Stone Guttfreund, Radio-Television-Film
Sascha is the only professor that has made zoom engaging and a functioning learning environment, and having his class every week is like an exhale from all the zoom-burnout. He has taught me so much, been so gracious with his time and resources, and I have no idea where I'd be without him and his class. He has made me feel like my career is possible and has helped me feel like I actually have control over it and given me a grasp on the music industry, and I know every other student feels the exact same. THANK YOU SASCHA !!!! - Susannah Joffe

After that is when I reached out and asked him to be my mentor for grad school  and I’m so grateful that he was able to give me that time to help me out. Being 1st-gen in a big school can be really hard, and Jonathan was a big inspiration for me to achieve great things. Thank you. - Esmeralda Negrete

Your memes, dad jokes, and enthusiasm for the class always put a smile on my face and re-energize me when I'm feeling burnt out. Everyone in the class can tell how much effort you put into making zoom engaging and fun, and we all appreciate it so much. This has by far been my favorite course I've taken at UT. Yes, the content was really interesting, but the reason why I (and the rest of the class) love it so much, is you! Thank you so much for all your hard work. And I really do think you'll be the next Alex Trebek! - Ellie Rudy

Corinne Jones, Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences
Thank you Dr. Jones for consistently providing the best virtual learning experience I've had in my 8 years of college.  Additionally, in my undergraduate level dysphagia course, it was presented as scary, mysterious, and frankly boring. Thank you for presenting dysphagia in an interesting, approachable way that has sparked a passion for dysphagia management and advocacy.  Thank you for being an advocate for evidence-based and ethical practice. I truly feel that I have a solid foundation in dysphagia education that I will forever build upon. - Anonymous

Jennifer Jones Barbour, Communication Studies
Dr. JB is one of those professors who I will lock back at my college career and remember for a long time as she has left a lasting impact on me. As an incoming freshman in the face of a pandemic, there are few professors like Dr. JB who make the process easier and welcoming. Her diverse background along with her cheerful and energetic nature makes everyone in her class comfortable. She is so fun and insightful to talk to. I was able to really connect with her experiences and no matter how tired you are, entering her class and seeing her excitement can get you excited and eager to learn. - Anonymous

You have taught me a lot about public relations that I hope to apply to my future career in the industry. I'm so glad to have taken your class this semester; I was definitely challenged to think differently while taking your course. - Madison Morris

During this time of uncertainty and extreme hardships, Dr. Love has been exceptionally understanding and supporting of his students. He has always made sure to ask us about our well-being before any school work matters. He also always takes the time to adjust his classwork so that we are not overwhelmed by our life outside of school AND in school. There are very few professors who have adapted to this new environment, and I just want to thank Dr. Love for going above and beyond the expectations of a professor. - Anonymous

Your understanding and compassion for all students are really admirable qualities. Thank you for making this semester so transformative for myself and peers! - Sara Ryan

 is the most helpful, encouraging and caring professor. I have taken his class twice and have made my best work at UT in his class. He really pushes you to be creative while still understanding the struggles of a student. I recommend every student I meet to take his class. - Megan Shevlin

I've had a lot of professors at UT who are knowledgeable about their craft and excel in teaching, but Kevin, you are a great educator and more — an exceptionally kind human first and foremost. Thank you for encouraging students to be their very best and for teaching with compassion. - Anonymous

Dr. Rollins' class "Communication and Social Change" had a profound effect on me in a number of ways. Of all the classes I've taken, it is the one which I would most recommend to anyone. - Anonymous

Dr. Sanders deserves the highest degree of recognition and appreciation. It is evident that she has such a special and fervent passion for teaching law. It is impossible not to be swept up by the charm of her lectures, supported by her transparent empathy, driven by her ambitious expectations, and grateful for her extensive work to keep us engaged in such a tumultuous education environment. I will always appreciate how admirable, compassionate, and receptive she has been to me during a time of hardship. Her meaningful student outreach is truly exceptional and I hope she recognizes that. - Anonymous

I wanted to thank you for not only being a stellar facilitator for our class but for leading us towards justice, innovation, and what's possible each time we're together. This semester has been unlike any other, but our class has consistently remained the bright spot of my week even amid such a strange environment. While much of what we do is rooted in co-creation, none of it would be possible without your hard work, dedication, and compelling vision for contemporary scholarship. Thank you for creating a class I'll never forget. Nothing wasted, muscles built. - Ryan Adams

Keri Stephens, Communication Studies
Dr. Stephens, thank you! I’ve never had a professor place such care and attention into me as a student. You mentored me, answered silly questions, and worked hard so that I could succeed. You were excited about what I considered faults in myself, and you’ve encouraged me to look at myself in a more positive light. Thank you for watching out for me, and I really appreciate everything that you’ve done. From my years at UT, you, your help, and your class will all be great memories! - Savannah Bonner

Joseph Straubhaar, Journalism and Media
I want to thank Dr. Straubhaar for making the course material very interesting. This is one of my favorite classes. I enjoy the material and have learned so much about media. The lectures have also gone really well because Dr. Straubhaar ties it in with his personal experience and research on Brazil. Dr. Straubhhar is very knowledgeable, and I have gotten so much out of the screenings that are assigned for this class. His strong passion for the media is apparent in his lectures, and I feel confident that I will be media literate once this course is over. Thank you for being a great professor. - Anonymous

My experience as a Research Scholar was profoundly defining as it allowed me to delve into important ethical issues while working with knowledgeable professionals like yourself. My best wishes for your continued success! - Michaela Urban

Thank you so much for your energy and understanding this semester! The class was really fun getting to know my peers and engaging with all of our guests :) - Kenedi Houston

Rachel Walker, Moody Staff
Where would any of us be without Rachel? Course scheduling, faculty promotion, HR, stepping in when other staff members are unavailable...She takes on the unglamours work of 2, if not 3, staff members, clocking countless extra hours to ensure our courses are scheduled, our faculty are hired and properly promoted, and that all the trains are running (and not into each other). Heartfelt gratitude to you! - Anonymous

Gary Wilcox, Advertising & Public Relations
As a student who took your advertising course, and is applying to the Moody School of Communication I just wanted to thank you. This semester in your class has taught me a great deal of knowledge that I can apply to my future, and will be a great contribution to my success. Your class helped me discover what I want to do with my career as I was a little indecisive before entering your course. I will definitely recommend your course to anyone who is also considering advertising in their future. - Anonymous

Thank you so much for always being there for your students and offering insightful feedback! It's very clear that you care about the courses and students that you TA for and I hope you know that the hard work you do is not unseen! Whether it's office hours working through my potential ad campaign ideas or offering additional information to the class it is incredibly above and beyond previous TAs have done! You make the class feel more personable and smaller through your dedication and care! Thank you so much. - Anonymous

Lingzi Zhong, Communication Studies
Lingzi was one of the best TA's I have had for a class. Her professional yet friendly composure to approach and run through CELP's or any assignment with. She is a wealth of knowledge who takes time out to help students and gives it her all. She really made a difference in class and with helping students understand the course content better and present their best selves. - Anonymous
