Unsatisfying classes and inaccessible advising cast shadows on my brightest desires...

Boe wound up with a .922 save percentage, 2.11 goals against average, and four shutouts to add to her school-record total. Still looking for a berth in the national...
...better opportunities. According to then-executive dean of the KSG Hale Champion, one woman they recruited chose to take “a major position in the federal government.”Nevertheless, KSG students past and present reacted to the accusations swiftly, with the first response coming merely hours after the WEAL complaint in a letter of support signed by over 80 alumni who declared the lack of diversity amongst K-school faculty “shocking.”Outcry from students at the school also gathered pace, with mention of the WEAL action in a letter sent...
