I'm in my second year as the College Recruitment Officer, and it's gratifying to see so many of the people I helped get started here in classes and moving toward brighter futures. I'm a true education advocate, having earned a bachelor's degree in English from the University of New Mexico and a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from the University of Utah. I've also worked in public relations and as a newspaper reporter and a librarian.

Our own Good Witch of the West

Who would stand for hours on a hard sidewalk wearing a witch's costume and a long, green wig cooking hundreds of servings of popcorn for a seemingly endless line of guests? And do it cheerfully? The answer is the Havasu campus' own Katie, the Good Witch of the West. This selfless student volunteer deserves a medal for refusing to leave her post at this year's Pumpkin Festival, Oct. 29. In fact, she stayed at the popcorn machine long after the event's published end time continuing to cook up the apparently irresistible treat until everyone in line had received their portions. What a trooper. Thanks, Katie.


Add the sunset: By the way, this year's Pumpkin Festival concluded during one of the most gorgeous sunsets I've ever seen in this land of spectacular western skies. Below is what it really looked like -- no fooling.
