Stephens alumna directs first play
One thing I’ve noticed about Stephens women—they’re confident and tenacious, two traits it’s taken me a very long time to develop. Take Chrisena Ricci (no, not Christina Ricci, the actress from “The Addams Family,” this is Chrisena Ricci). Ricci is [...]
Snow days: I’d rather be at Stephens
When Stephens President Dianne Lynch called a snow day last Thursday, I kinda got excited. I haven’t had a “snow day” since high school. Granted, when Old Man Winter dumped 15 inches on us in 2006 and 20-plus on us [...]
At Stephens, creativity continues after commencement
As a reporter covering education (both K-12 and higher) I heard the same buzzwords over and over—“lifelong learner” being one of the most used. No doubt, alliterations are appealing (see what I did there? Although when vowels are used, I [...]
Stephens – a campus for the uber-creative
It’s hard to explain to outsiders just how awesome Stephens is. I wish I had considered it during my own college search a gazillion years ago. Actually, I’m not sure I did much of a college search. I decided to [...]
Valentine’s Day at Stephens
Last Valentine’s Day for the Tribune, I followed around the Boonslick Chordbusters Quartet as they delivered songs, roses and smiles to lucky ladies all over town. The result was this story in which I gave kudos to the men who [...]

Just. Five. More. Steps.
When I stepped on the scale this morning, the number was officially 10 below the number it was on Jan. 1. Now, keep in mind I have many extra 10s, so I’m not anywhere near the size I should be. [...]
Keeping up with Stephens
“There are so many time options, really, there’s no excuse to miss this!” That was a healthier, chirpier version of myself when I commented on this blog that there’s no excuse to miss “The Tempest.” I planned to go Sunday [...]
Adventures abroad: Wish I were there
I try to live by the philosophy that regrets are a waste of time and everything happens, or doesn’t happen, for a reason. But, man, Madison Moore is making me regret not studying abroad when I was in college! When [...]
Queens rocked; Can’t wait for ‘The Tempest’
As a reporter, you learn to dread the events other people can’t wait for. If I’d had to cover one more Christmas parade for a small-town paper, I probably would have started throwing candy back at the floats. Big-name speakers [...]
