"E. Nicole Meyer has this flaming enthusiasm to engage the learning of French to all students...Professor Meyer helped me with an internship in Bordeaux, France. I remember asking her if she believed I could do it. She said, 'Mary, I believe you can do anything you want as long as you put your heart into it."
