After being invited to campus, I knew it was my first choice. I fell in love with South Bethlehem, and I am happy now to call it home. During my interview, my (now) colleagues made my ideas about research/teaching/academics feel respected, and they allowed me to be comfortably critical. I felt seen here, and I cannot be happier with my decision.What was your previous institution?Syracuse University
