KUA is an incredible place that I am lucky enough to experience first hand, first as a student and then as a faculty member and parent. In the words of a parent recently visiting with his prospective student: "The students here are...authentic." Yup, those of us who get to work with the students every day...we are lucky. KUA is our home away from home.

Cynthia Howe and Murray Dewdney were a big help to me as I started my teaching career. After I left KUA in 1990, I continued to interact with Cynthia through college counseling by visiting campuses with her and seeing her at conferences. I often checked in with her for advice during a job search, etc. Cynthia and Murray were great colleagues and role models for me and other young faculty. It was an honor to work with both of them.
