I was in Olga’s Russian class and she was amazing. She was able to make the class truly laugh which most teachers are unable to accomplish (though they do try.) I usually try to avoid running into my professors outside the classroom but I loved seeing Olga at the Holy Grounds in the library. She was always able to make me feel a little less stressed when I had a lot of work even if we only exchanged a few words. I wish I could have finished the semester with her and gotten to know her better. She will be missed.

I used to look forward to seeing Olga when she opened the library Holy Grounds on Sundays; she was so friendly and cheerful. She always asked me about my son. She was sincere, too, and would remember what I said about him the previous time we spoke: “Oh, how did your son’s [such and such] go yesterday?” I didn’t realize until now just how much I looked forward to seeing Olga. I am grateful to have gotten to know her. She made the Library and the University a nicer place to work.
