by Lydia Lum , March 19, 2008

Categories:

DI: Share with us some memorable professional advice you received. RK: Stay humble no matter what position you hold. Anything you accomplish is because of the work of many people.

DI: What characteristics have helped you ascend through the administrative ranks?
RK: I’ve tried to stay true to faculty values. We are in the business of knowledge. The priorities are academics and student needs. So many smart people help educate students, help them learn. I always encourage faculty to do what they do best. We work as a team. I am only one player among many.

DI: What words do you live by?
RK: When life gives you lemons and everyone else is busy making lemonade, think about making margaritas!
