"As soon as I expressed an interest in research, I was directed to Dr. 'DJ' Mitchell. And it was clear why after reviewing his work. Yet, while his scholarship is impressive, his dedication to his students and passion for diversity, equity and inclusion in education impresses me more. As an educator, he fosters learning experiences that you remember and for me, he has become a very important mentor."
