Students who nominated him for this award said: “I have not found, nor do I believe I could find, a better mentor and friend among the professors at Brandeis.” “Professor Muellner is brilliant, open to student ideas and endlessly encouraging. Every day he shares his infectious enthusiasm and reverence for this beautiful subject. He is a master storyteller who makes even the most miniscule detail suddenly fascinating. As an instructor he is particularly adept at managing a classroom with students of varying abilities. His greatest strength, however, is that he really cares about his students and their learning.”
