Summer time… and the living is easy (assuming you’re inside!) Welcome to the summer issue of your Campus Connection. Many of you may have been watching the Colorado fires during July and were concerned about Friends University’s Rockcleft camp outside of Colorado Springs. As of this writing, the camp had been evacuated for their safety, but has since reopened for business!
Elizabeth (Johnson) Fitch, G’83, and her husband David adopted two Ethiopian girls (Jerusalem Kathryn Fitch, age 8 and Bethlehem Rebecca Fitch, age 6) on Dec. 6, 2011. We celebrate with you in your work to change the world one child at a time!
News you can use… have you seen the news about the Delano District (Seneca and Douglas) expansion for the Friends University Art Department? Two historic buildings have been purchased and will allow not only the instruction but a gallery to display the student’s artwork!
Linda (Bowlin) Kizzire, G’80/M’03, assumed the Sedgwick County Treasurer’s position in January 2011. She and her husband, Mike, have a grown son and one grandson. Congratulations, Linda!
Updates from you include:

Michael Schmidt, G’85, celebrated 27 years this past December with the Menninger Clinic in Houston where he works as a mental health associate. We are proud of the difference you make!
