There are professors and faculty that are unforgettable as they shaped us into the professionals we are today.  Dr. Rubaii fit that role completely.  She was a fine educator and I am blessed to be under her advisement in graduate school at NMS.  I have no doubt that I am where I am in my career due to her support, mentorship, and encouragement.  May her legacy continue through those she impact and may we carry her drive in all we set forth to accomplish.  

Very respectfully,

Cyrus Salazar
