Because she is still new to her position, Montfort doesn't have many concrete plans yet and still has to navigate the senate's bylaws, which can sometimes act as roadblocks. For instance, the mandatory use of an analog tape recorder during some meetings.
But her old co-worker in the physics department, Professor Jordan Goodman, is optimistic about what she can do for the senate.
"Reka is a sensational; everyone that's ever worked for her feels the same way," Goodman said. "She knows what's possible to do electronically."
Aside from her technological know how, Montfort brings an exceptional attention to detail and an ability to juggle many complex tasks at once, said Arthur Popper, who co-chaired the search committee that selected Montfort.
"The senate does get inundated with lots of things all at once," Popper said. "It's very critical that the senate has someone who can deal with many different things, many different people and many different groups in a detailed way."
