In May of 2017, I accompanied my colleague professor Liz Malatestinic, who led a student group on a study abroad trip to Germany and Switzerland. After our long trans-Atlantic flight to Frankfurt, we took our jet-lagged students to The Hauptwache (main square) for a casual lunch. We had not been in the square 5…… Read more »

A 50th Memory from Todd & Kim Saxton, Emeritus Professors

But it is also filled with joy and celebration. Seeing the pride on their faces as they cross the stage as new Kelley alums is very gratifying.
