Interview on Local News Talking About Afghanistan

Today the local Colorado Springs NBC affiliate, KOAA, ran a piece on how students and educators are handling the events in Afghanistan. I was interviewed for this story, along with several UCCS students. Wonderful to see KOAA on campus, and to see our students sharing their views. I’m thankful for my many mentors who have modeled what it looks like to speak to the public on important issues.

Here is a link to the video, and here is a link to a text-only version of the story.
