Chris Brady
"Chris is a true asset to Doane University, both as faculty and as staff. He is always willing to go above and beyond for his students and the Doane community as a whole. Chris has a unique ability to bring out the best in each of his students and create an engaging learning environment. The "Battle of Doaneland" that Chris created and organized for his Military History class with Doane Leadership participation is one example this. Chris's ingenuity, innovation, and dedication to Doane is inspiring." - Alaina Popp
Denise Ellis
"Denise has been so incredibly helpful in helping me develop a new curriculum that my note cannot express it all. She always makes herself available, even at the last minute on multiple occasions, to help out and be supportive. She is extremely patient, humble, thoughtful, and above all, helpful. I'm not sure how I could have added entrepreneurship to our course lineup without her constant guidance and assistance. Thank you for being who you are and illustrating Doane University's values of inclusion, integrity, innovation, and transformation." - AJ Chauradia
Julianna Grabianowski

She makes my life better and my day brighter-every single interaction! Thank you Patty!" - Kathleen Zumpfe
