Recommendation from Amy Ludwig, Executive Director at MOSTe

“Michelle is wonderful! She had reviewed the draft material I sent prior to our call, so we were able to jump right in and fine-tune the copy. Her comments were knowledgable, generous, clear, and encouraging. She suggested a number of improvements which I am delighted to make. I feel so much more confident about our Giving Tuesday campaign now! This was a perfect use of Catchafire – well worth the time and prep.”

Recommendation from Matthew Purdy, Director of Career Services at Murray State University

Recommendation from Matthew Purdy, Director of Career Services at Murray State University

“I had the pleasure of working with Michelle at the beginning of my career at Murray State. Michelle welcomed me with open arms and had me hit the ground running with her office, hosting a meetup night for me to be able to meet and interact with several of our students. She was very easy to collaborate with on a multitude of initiatives, which made for a stronger university overall.

“On a personal note, Michelle was very easy to work with, outgoing, and realistically strategic. The level of student support from her office was both encouraging and inspiring to me as I started the process of (re)building my own operation on campus.”

Recommendation from Abby Hensley, Director of Development – Hutson School of Agriculture and Student Affairs at Murray State University

“For six quick months, I had the honor of working along side Michelle to build the LGBT Programming Office prospect base. Michelle provided three different perspectives to the interim roll – past president of Alliance student group, Murray State University alumnae, and as a marketing professional. Together, we were able to establish a mailing list of nearly 500 names of individuals or organizations who have shown interest in or have supported the LGBT Programming Office at Murray State. The opportunity for growth became more real with Michelle’s help and understanding of how the world of Development and Student Affairs can work in harmony to reach success.”

Art Review: The Frist’s Secrets of Buddhist Art: Tibet, Japan, and Korea

While working in Kentucky this winter and spring, I am lucky to be just two hours from Nashville’s Frist Center for the Visual Arts. A few days ago, I was there for Secrets of Buddhist Art: Tibet, Japan, and Korea.

Secrets was a stellar show, almost overwhelming in its significance. We were there for a few hours before heading out to lunch (Sitar, an Indian restaurant I’d highly recommend) and then returned once our eyes and minds had rested a bit.
