Excerpt from student nomination: “Professor Alibali has been incredibly supportive of my involvement in research by encouraging me to apply for opportunities like the Honors Sophomore Summer Apprenticeship, where she gave me the opportunity to work with a team of graduate students in spearheading the design of a new research project. Before her encouragement to further my involvement in her research lab, I hadn’t ever considered applying to Ph.D. programs or pursuing a career in research. Further, she has been incredibly supportive throughout the process of designing my Senior Honors Thesis project. While having high expectations for me, she is sympathetic to my little previous experience and is always willing to find time to help me through any questions or setbacks.”
