Student Of The Month - October 2003
Rachel Martin
Congrats, Rachel, on being student of the month! Rachel is a
bright, hard working student. She was a member of the team that won
the first-place ISSAC award for the EPICS
QuickDrop game in 2002, and she is participating in EPICS again
this semester. She is currently working on her honors thesis on
discrete logarithm-based cryptosystems. Oh, and she is also an
active member of the ACM Student Chapter. I don't know how she can
do all that and still have time to raise her beautiful daughter
Layla, yet she does. Rachel, this honor is well-deserved.

Great Rachel. You have been hanging around Butler for so long
just waiting to be elected Student Of the Month. Now you can
graduate and go get a real job!! Of course you know I am kidding -
hope everyone else does. You have been great in so many ways:
academically strong, service to the ACM, EPICS and the department,
a wonderful wife and mother, etc. I wish you the best of luck in
the future.

Rachel was one of the first students who expressed an interest
and actually participated in the EPICS program from its inception.
I remember that she was the one who came up with the name "Spanish
in Action" (SIA) during one of our regular meetings. Since then,
she has impressed me with her eagerness to learn and productive
nature during EPICS, in my courses as well as being part of the
CeASER research team. She is a creative and resourceful person with
a pleasant personality who works very well with others. The most
admirable thing about Rachel, to me, is her successful efforts to
balance the challenging tasks of raising her daughter and also
being a full time student. Well done, Rachel. I have no doubts that
you will be successful.
