“The impact that Alexis Wilson had on my PhD is immeasurable. From the first meeting she read my mind. It was a flourishing mentoring relationship that had all the pieces that helped me grow as an PhD student, a professional, and as an individual. She helped me to think about my PhD as a whole and taught me about navigating graduate school. During arduous times she told me to ask myself why I was doing what I was doing as a way to fuel myself going forward. During my graduate school career, I was often the only Black woman in the classroom or lab it made me happy that I finally saw someone else who looked like me.”

“Working with Alexis through the SESUR program was such a defining moment of my undergraduate career. As a freshman, I was so new to the world of Earth Sciences, but Alexis’s mentorship gave me the confidence to truly get my hands dirty and build confidence in the soil lab and the field. She walked me through every step, from coding to scheduling interviews to lab work, with such incredible patience. It was because of that summer  with Alexis as my mentor that I officially declared Earth Systems with a focus on the Land Systems track and soil sciences. Now, as a Masters student, I still carry the environmental justice lens she instilled in me in all the work I do. “
