OTHER ACTIVITIES
2004 University of Kansas’ Wheat State Whirlwind Tour: six days touring Kansas with other University of Kansas faculty and staff. This is a competitive application through the Chancellor’s office. The goals of the tour are: To understand/appreciate origins of KU students, develop a deeper relationship with Kansas and its people so that we can gain a better understanding of their needs and hopes, experience a wide spectrum of Kansas people, heritage, and physical beauty and create a community within the University that crosses disciplinary boundaries.
