L-R from top: Visual Studies presentations judge; attack on guest speaker; cleaning Museum dinosaur; Ram Dass and Timothy Leary exit anniversary; caring for research monkey; Phi Beta Kappa at Memorial Hall; Bishop Desmond Tutu speaking against apartheid; Kermit the Frog delivering Class Day address Life in the Big Pond.

then as an administrator, developing visual strategies best suited for a specific time, situation, and audience.

What inspires me to work in education communications is sharing the sense of wonder at the core of learning:
