I have now spent 3 weeks in my new post as Professor and Director of the Fashion School at Kent State University in Ohio. It has been an amazing start; so much to learn.
Sadly, my predecessor, Dr. Elizabeth Rhodes, passed away this week on thursday night. Her legacy will continue to be very strong for a long time to come at Kent State University. With the strength of vision and boundless drive, she accomplished incredible things for the School of Fashion. I hope to be able to continue and to expand that vision in a manner befitting of her memory.
In Elizabeth's honor,
"Good Things!"
