As one of the College's most influential and charismatic administrators, Epps has seen student affairs at the College through some tumultuous times and myriad changes.

...Another is that it was a time capsule for the elan of the '60s, hopeful and engaged, melodious and raucous. It was also the ragged champs of the art of improvisation. If rock musicians prove their wits by vamping, the Dead were Mensa masters. A single song, in its myriad tonal variations, could go on for the better part of an hour--or the worse part, if inspiration was lacking that night.

A woman of my age (40) cannot remain ignorant of the "horrors" that lie ahead. But I wear my vivid shock of silver hair front and center. I survey my body with honest appraisal and admit that I don't look like I used to. And though faced with incontrovertible evidence that I have become "a woman of a certain age," I wouldn't be younger for anything or anyone. I am proud of what the years have...
