Diana Newby, MA Mills College & Multilingual Services Coordinator

“It’s been a wonderful experience to have worked with and known you over the last few years. I learned an enormous amount both as your student in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages and as your Teaching Assistant in Fundamentals of Grammar. The knowledge and tools that I gained from both courses have informed my own work as a writer and especially as a teacher. In particular, I have drawn on these resources in my ongoing work with multilingual and international student writers. As my own career has developed, I have always looked back to curriculae, notes, and memories from your classes, and I continue to be endlessly impressed by your uniquely thoughtful pedagogy and exquisite way with words. Thank you for being such a fabulous mentor, enthusiastic grammarian, and exceptional human being.”
