Congratulations, Sachin Allahabadi and Kristin Foringer, on being named PAAs of the Month-February 2013!
“Sachin eptomizes the excellence that is the PAA program. His consistent dedication through O-week and at Sid Rich has been clearly evident. He shows exemplary prudence in his advising abilities and always seeks to improve the academic culture of all those around him, no matter what college he/she is from. Seeing Sachin every day during lunch and taking leadership by reaching out to all the students that need his help had inspired me to become a PAA myself. I truly believe that his commitment to the PAA program and all that it entails is worthy of commending. Sachin is simply one of the best PAAs I have seen at Rice.”
“When I think of PAA, I think Kristen Foringer. In fact, she’s so good at being a PAA that she’s most commonly known as Kristen Foringer The PAA. She’s always available to answer questions about any aspect of academic advising. Even when she might be doing something else, she always takes the time to sit down and listen to any questions I might have about academic planning or courses. Kristen’s extremely approachable and very visible around Baker and around campus, which makes it easy to go to her and ask for advice. Rice is known for its Culture of Care, and if any PAA exemplifies this compassion for peers, it’s Kristen Foringer The PAA”
