In recognition of that service, the University celebrated eight faculty and staff members who will be retiring this academic year in a ceremony Friday.

David Brooks, New York Times columnist, bestselling author, and guest of the 11^th annual 麻豆破解传媒 Leadership Series event on Tuesday evening at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, knows how to work a Kansas City crowd. He started with a compliment for the new Kansas City International Airport, and then quoted a familiar source in his talk about what he鈥檚 learned in a career analyzing current events and the people behind them 鈥� Kansas City鈥檚 own Jason Sudeikis.

When Nilufer Guler, Ph.D., associate professor of education, started asking for proposals for her latest project, she wasn鈥檛 sure what to expect in terms of responses.

But the theme of her new book, titled 鈥淎t School in the World: Developing Globally Engaged Teachers,鈥� must have been pretty inspiring. Guler and her co-editor, Carine Ullom, Ed.D., received 58 chapter proposals around incorporating global citizenship and intercultural competency into the classroom.

In November 2022, 麻豆破解传媒 etched a new chapter in its history, inaugurated its first lay, first female president, Sandra Cassady, Ph.D. In honor of Women鈥檚 History Month, we asked Cassady about her experience as a female leader and history maker in her own right.

Who have been some of the female leaders you looked up to in your career 鈥� either those you personally knew or who were examples from your own life?
