"For success Dream large, take risks, set no limits for what you can do or accomplish.Above all work hard and have good luck. I always found the harder I worked the luckier I got. When one dream did not happen it always meant there was something better coming along."

"It is a challenging time as many of my health scientist colleagues and bioengineers, such as my son Ryan, work so very hard to address the COVID 19 challenge. However, this is exactly what we scientists were trained for, as we were 'born for the storm.' It is also a time to be encouraged in that the LMU College of Science and Engineering prepared so many of us for this challenge. I would recommend that all your students please "embrace the challenge" and use this unique opportunity to make a difference. As Alecia Kiehn Davis, (LMU Graduate of 1973 as well) and my best friend of close to 50 years likes to say, 'Plant grass, do not pull weeds.' My best to you."

“You have an idea of what you will do after you graduate. Good. Do it. Or pursue the next opportunity to come your way...What you learned in your technical courses will give you a living. What you learned in the chapel will give you a life.”

“If you want the exciting tasks in whatever company you land at, the best way to make yourself known is to be able to handle failures...Know that there will always be failures. But how do you handle yours?”

"As you make your way through life you will come to realize (if you have not already) that the only true constant is change...Continue to seek out knowledge and opportunities."

“Hold onto your dreams and take advantage of the new opportunities that will surely come your way.”

"I graduated in 1984 with a BS in Biology knowing only one thing, that I love science but didn't want to go to medical school. After many years working in science education (as a teacher and museum educator), I have landed as the Executive Director of a Los Angeles based non-profit, PS Science, that is devoted to ensuring that elementary students from lower income communities have robust science in their schools. As an LMU Bio undergrad I had no idea that such a career existed, but I feel incredibly lucky that this amazing opportunity came my way. Everyday I work with students and teachers to bring the wonder and awe of our world into their curriculum. If you love bringing a passion for science to young kids, check out our website and contact me!"

"Students have always been faced with challenges and decisions: what path to follow, and making choices that affect the future...What you can control is how to develop a broad education filled with wide experiences and a flexible mind and attitude."
