My daughter was sitting alone outside when the sirens sounded. She didn’t know what to do, but [Life Sciences professor] Brian Hedlund told her and a few others to come to his office. His calmness, kindness, and reassurance that they were safe comforted her. He just has no idea that what he did meant the world to me.
