Amazing Chair! She tells you how she works before accepting you, is very consistent. That said, she's very selective about who she agrees to work with. If she agrees to work with you, you're a lucky winner. The committee respects her, and having her as your chair makes everything go more smoothly.LEAD777 2025-10-25 13:29:43 +0000 UTC
I had the privilege of working with Dr. Elias as my doctoral professor and chair. She is an exemplary doctoral professor and dissertation chair who displays exceptional care, expertise, and dedication to her students. She fostered a supportive learning environment, provided invaluable guidance, and genuinely prioritized students' well-being.EDLE722 2023-05-13 02:38:00 +0000 UTC

Mrs Eilias is a good person with a good heart to help her students to be the best they can be, she is able to get something complicate and make simple to understand- Only northeastern professor I will miss after graduation probably the only one that replies e:mails, knows y name and stops to say hi and ask how y are doing when she sees you around.1102 2015-09-17 07:52:48 +0000 UTC
Simone rocks- and I plan to take all my electives with her because she is a kind, smart, and happy professor that helps you learn without getting burned out- you actually use what you learn in her class in real life.102 2015-09-11 08:11:32 +0000 UTC
