The poetpainter- biologist-outdoorsperson was torn between biology, environmental science, art, and English. What to do? Build your own major. That creation may have had something to do with Leet becoming the College’s first Udall scholar) -- Freedom Fighter (The abrogation of free speech and freedom of the press anywhere harms those freedoms everywhere. So the pro bono work of Wade Thomson ’98 serves us all) / by Tom Nugent -- Out of Africa (David Easterbrook ’69 has helped assemble the world’s foremost collection of President Barack Obama artifacts from Africa) / by Tom Nugent -- Far-Flung Family (Bobby Ireland ’96 thinks of all “K” athletes as brothers and sisters.

But then he remembers his language lessons) / by Olga Bonfiglio -- Founders, All (Poet Di Seuss’ poetic tribute to the College founders, which include you).
