Patrick Ray, junior, took 2 years of Spanish with Dennler before advancing to higher Spanish classes.

“Her smile when I'm entering the room always brightens my day no matter what type of day I am having.. Looking back in time to when I was a freshman, I am so glad that I took Dennler’s class and would 100% do it again,” Ray said.

Along with Ray, Nick Huff who is a sophomore in his 2nd year of class with Dennler. Just like Ray he had a similar perspective of Dennler’s teaching and classroom energy.

“I would definitely take her class again, because she is a great teacher and she makes sure that everyone in her class is understanding what she's teaching,” Huff said.

For anyone that is thinking about taking her class as an incoming freshman, definitely do it you will not regret it.
