    “It’s widespread and globally prevalent, but it is largely accepted and ignored. I thought this was a great opportunity to start introducing students to what ageism is."


  • A Different Approach

    "At NKU, there is a sense of 'We appreciate who you are, we value your opinion and we’re going to give you our support.'"


  • From DACA to Dreams of Management

  • A Trailblazer For Women Educators

    "For years, they’ve seen that the majority of their teachers are female. A lot of principals are females. Now, they can see the superintendent, and it’s something they can do. That’s a big responsibility.”
