I first met Andrew Dowe ’08, ’20PhD, around 2015, when we were both on a panel interviewing students trying for scholarships. Andrew wasn’t merely friendly, welcoming, kind, and witty; he had the most joyfully warm personality of anyone I’ve ever met. However you were feeling, however difficult or overloaded your day might have been, Andrew’s smile and conversation would lift you up. He was incandescent.
