A Message from Dean Limesand
By Luke Wink Moran
Dean Kirsten Limesand spent the last few weeks meeting one-on-one with every member of the Graduate College. The first question she asked everyone was, “What do you love about the Graduate College?”
Most of the team had the same answer: They had great coworkers, and they supported the mission of the Graduate College. Dean Limesand felt encouraged, but she knew that the team was facing some external challenges—the same challenges facing graduate colleges around the country.

How does one make a clarinet sound like an electric guitar?

Handshake is a website where college students can build professional profiles, apply for jobs, and be discovered by professional recruiters. It’s a little like LinkedIn, but for university students. I actually got this job by applying to a listing on Handshake, and I use the site to keep up with career fairs, professional development seminars, and potential jobs.

Revitalization and Resilience
By Luke Wink Moran
After spending his early childhood closer to Diné homelands, James McKenzie grew up mostly in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He appreciated his upbringing, “but when I look back,” he says, “there was a void where some part of who I am should’ve been.”
