I met Professor Engle-Friedman during Fall 2020, when the world was shut away in homes and our futures were uncertain. In a moment when everyone felt distant, Professor Engle-Friedman brought warmth, levity and hope. She made me believe that a career in climate justice was not a pipe dream, but something that could be a reality. She provided me with guidance, opportunities and mentorship in a way that was always uplifting. I felt very lucky to have her in my life. Thank you for having more belief in me then I did in myself Professor.

I knew Mindy as a champion of all that mattered most. She never seemed to tire of working for a future that might only be realized long after she was gone—a tall order by any measure. I was buoyed by her example and am grateful to have known her.

I met Dr. Engle-Friedman only once, an encounter that will always stay with me. She evinced the kind of emotional genius that wraps a person in grace, empathy, and understanding, and I am extremely grateful. She is a gift that keeps giving. My deepest condolences to her family and friends.
