Title IX Memories
One day in middle school my PE teacher told us about legislation called Title IX that would provide opportunities for girls in sports. It seemed like she looked right at me and said that this could change your life forever. My senior year of high school, we had our first girls basketball team. I came to PSU and continued to play.
Nate Stahl and Bart Arnett

Brian and Laura Sullivan
2009 Community Campaign Co-Chairs
When it comes to those who credit their college experience for their current success, there are few alumni more enthusiastic than Brian and Laura Sullivan.

Toby Cook
A Perfect Job for a Devoted Fan
Toby Cook (BA ‘90) was seven years old when his dad took him to his first Kansas City Royals baseball game. Through twice-a-year excursions to see the Royals from their home in Independence, Kan., and summer nights listening to games on the radio, Cook became a devoted fan. It's understandable, then, why he finds it almost unbelievable luck that today he works for them.
Roy A. Jensen
Roy Jensen admits that when he graduated from high school in Gardner, Kansas, he, like most his age, “didn’t have much of a clue” about what he wanted to do with his life. Two things were pretty certain, however: He loved playing basketball and he was sure that he didn’t want to become a doctor.
