Excellence in Action highlights 10 achievements from past year
Dear KC Athletics Fans and Community Supporters:
I hope you are all well and safe.
There is certainly not a 'playbook' for what to do in the midst of a 21st-century pandemic. We are all facing threats on multiple fronts at once: to self, family, coworkers, business partners, and potentially our social fabric.

Yours in safety and health,
Dr. Brandon E. Martin
