“I have had the pleasure of having Dina guest speak several times to
my students and out of all the guest speakers I have, she is by far always the class favorite. She
has a wicked and wonderful sense of humor that she uses to touch on sensitive topics and to get
discussions rolling. She has always been respectful of differing opinions or naïve questions from
my students and has been able to address them with respect, kindness and a genuine desire to share
and teach.”
