OT-MBA Grad Thrives in Career by Turning Opportunities into Action
April 5, 2022
Some students go to college undecided on a major, and that’s just fine. Others, like 2016 Rockhurst graduate Kaitlin Doyle, know exactly what they want to do. Doyle’s mother grew up as a child of a deaf adult (CODA) and Kaitlin had an uncle who had cerebral palsy and spent a lot of time in therapy. She saw how her grandparents took care of him and guided him through everyday tasks. That sparked her interest in the field of occupational therapy.

March 29, 2022
Mathapalooza started a decade ago as exactly the sort of event that name would imply — an invitational, gleeful exploration of the sometimes-dreaded school subject. That was the goal — to make mathematics approachable and even fun for young students. For Zdenka Guadarrama, Ph.D., professor of mathematics who founded Mathapalooza with a colleague, what started as a single-day event has...
