Sara
“When I reflect on my time in college, my most impactful memories are from moments sitting in the Life Chair in Dean Badal’s office."
"A lot of meaningful change happened in my life during those four years, and I truly wouldn’t be who I am today without those deep, life-giving conversations with Dean Badal. Every moment in that chair is a gift.”
Liz
"Aside from the magical moments, she is a constant source of support and positivity, no matter what the occasion."
"Dean Badal reminds me and so many others to invite magic into our lives through jumping in puddles when it's raining and enjoying the little pleasures in life — like eating cupcakes and delighting in a bowl of sprinkles."
Maddie
“My time in the chair was as self-reflective as it was forward-looking, and I was (and still am) grateful to have Dean Badal’s thoughtfulness in helping me to identify which skills made me uniquely me."
"Not only did Dean Badal help guide my own introspection, but she also challenged me to think beyond typical paths after graduation. It’s largely because of Dean Badal that I trust myself to continue seeking what brings me joy and success — and the confidence to weigh both of those equally.”
Wes
“The Life Chair is a place where a student can really think through their thoughts and find their way, their purpose and their meaning."
"When I was a student, I didn't really know who I was outside of being an athlete, as that was my main identity for most of my life. However, the Life Chair showed me otherwise. Dean Badal taught me to follow my gut and intuition, and to seek out new adventures that would make me smile bigger and laugh louder."
Annie
"The Life Chair was there when I would plunk down, tears streaming down my cheeks as I dealt with heartbreak and disappointment, and only Dean Badal could console me with her heart and wisdom."
“The chair was always an open invitation to take a moment, breathe and remember to laugh.”

Sara
"From Dean Badal, I learned to take a step back and look at things from a big-picture perspective."
"This has helped me tremendously in my current life as a surgeon. By being able to hone in on specifics that truly matter, I can better lead my team without being bogged down in details that do not necessarily impact my goal while still paying fantastic attention to detail in aspects that do impact the outcome of the patient.”
Darshan
"The Life Chair allows for curiosity turned inward. It is a place where you can feel safe, be present, and reflect on yourself and your place in the world."
"Through many conversations in the Life Chair, Dean Badal has helped me get to the heart of the things that matter most to me.”
Joey
“While sitting in the Life Chair I was heard, validated, encouraged and pushed to be self-reflective.”
"Now with my own career in higher education, it is the type of space I strive to create for every student because I know how valuable it was for my personal and professional development.”
Jess
"There was no pushing or prodding. There was simply sacred space."
“I realized that sitting in the Life Chair was just as much about expressing myself as it was about genuinely accepting myself.”
