K\u2019s focus on experiential education aligns well with my view of the powerful impact higher education can have on people\u2019s lives. Coming to work is fun because I get to support and collaborate with many outstanding and accomplished colleagues within academic affairs and across the College in support of our mission.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"life-outside-of-the-college\">Life Outside of the College<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOutside of K, I serve as a board member for the Irving S.
