“Padma taught my Core: India class and led me on �þ���Ƶ’s inaugural London Art & Art History program. She sparked my passion for travel and learning about the world, inspiring me to approach exploring new places with a great deal of curiosity and with a creative eye. Her enthusiasm inside the classroom was infectious, but more than that, she became a friend, and her presence is one of the things that I look so fondly on when I think about my time at �þ���Ƶ. When I visit �þ���Ƶ now, I always look forward to catching up with her. ”
