The professors made a lasting impression on my life. They always encour– aged us to be better, to keep striving. They also taught us that there can be agreement and balance between the spiritual and intellectual. You don't have to forsake one to attain the other." - Kelly Ward, a 1985 speech education graduate and teacher at New London High School in New London, Ohio, is serving as a drama coordinator and teacher in New Zealand for the year.
