“Since I joined SJSU a month ago, Malu has been instrumental in my transition into my new role. She has been more than just my manager, she has been my cheerleader, advocate, and always willing to explain and help. She has been the most gracious boss and compassionate leader. Coming from a different city, and adjusting to so much so soon, having her in my corner is one of things I truly appreciate. I think if I didn’t have Malu’s leadership, I wouldn’t be adjusting as well I have been in my short time here.” — John Merz
