Baker University

President’s Report

2006

Transitions

Baker President Emeritus Daniel M. Lambert, Latasha Roberts and Baker President Dr. Patricia N. Long.

Baker University began the year under the leadership of veteran president Daniel M. Lambert who served at the helm for 19 years – the second longest tenure of any Baker president. But the highly-revered,

soft-spoken intellectual had announced his retirement the previous year and, upon establishing the University’s first doctoral program, he stayed true to his word and retired in June 2006. Known for his wisdom, it was hard to imagine anyone else in the office.

Everyone knew that Baker’s 28th President would have to be someone extraordinary. When Patricia N. Long came on board in July there was an immediate understanding that the University’s first female president met that definition. She came a short distance from neighboring University of Missouri-Kansas City, and news of her gregarious nature and

inclusive style spread quickly. University events designed to introduce her drew record attendance as she made clear her mission to move the University “Forward, together”.

And so the transformation began for Kansas’ first university, much as it occurs in the lives of those the University serves. In the pages to follow, you will learn about life changes for those touched by Baker’s four schools: high school and transfer students in the College of Arts and Sciences, educators and traditional students in the new School of Education, working adults in the School of Professional and Graduate Studies, and students of all ages and backgrounds in the School of Nursing.

Faith through adversity...

Anthony HyghSophomore, Business Major

“Amazingly, despite life’s challenges, Anthony has been able to maintain an upbeat, hopeful, and forward-thinking attitude and approach to life.”

–Dr. Judy Smrha, Advisor

As Hurricane Katrina bore down on Dillard University in New Orleans, Anthony Hygh hast-

ily gathered a handful of clothing from his second-floor room before rushing to his relatives’

home a hundred miles away. Unaware of the destruction the life-changing storm would bring,

the college freshman and Shawnee Mission West graduate was forced to evacuate two days

before the brunt of the nation’s worst natural disaster.

Hygh’s clothes and school supplies

remained behind, packaged in a dozen

cardboard boxes. Hygh took comfort in

coming back to an area he knew well, with

his mother, Denise, close by as the pas-

tor at Central United Methodist Church

in Lawrence. Never returning to Dillard

and the ravaged city, Hygh found a home

at Baker University. Denise taught her only child how to overcome obstacles, battling a rare

blood disease for nearly a decade after being told at age 31 that she had 18 months to live. Her

final fight ended in April 2006, when she passed away after a bout with liver cancer.

As the son of a single mother, Anthony takes solace in the deep Christian faith his mother

instilled in him, especially after spiritually bonding with her the final year of her life.

His friendly, outgoing and caring persona has helped him become involved at Baker. He ac-

tively participates in Mungano and Student Senate and serves as a residence hall representative.

Hygh believes a Baker education and his ability to adapt to change will help fulfill his aspira-

tions of owning and managing his own business.

Faith through adversity...

Nothing is secure but life, transition, the energizing spirit.

Inspiring leaders...

“Dr. Karl Krawitz is a very conscientious and dedicated educator who is committed to teaching and learning. His classroom instruction is engaging, information rich and relevant.”

–Dr. Bill Neuenswander, Dean of the School of Education

With a booming voice and dynamic gestures that demand attention, Karl Krawitz has the

ability to connect with the minds of Baker’s 25 doctoral students.

The School of Education assistant professor infuses passion and energy in all of his classes.

His style puts them at ease and draws them in to the subject at hand, even statistical analysis.

Quickly he convinces those around him that statistics is a tool aimed at making schools more

productive for the students the educators serve.

One student likens Krawitz’s

class to a day at the gym. “It’s a

complete workout and your mind

is always exercised.”

After serving more than 30 years

as a teacher and administrator in

public education in the Kansas

City area, Krawitz was inspired

two years ago to return to his

alma mater and make a lasting impression on Baker’s inaugural Doctor of Education (Ed.D)

in Educational Leadership program. He is in on the ground floor of something very big, for

it is rare that a private school of Baker’s size to become accredited at the doctoral level.

Krawitz takes satisfaction knowing he made an imapact developing the careers of future

administrators.

Michelle MinorGraduate of Dispute Resolution Program

Building trust...Ready to embark on a meaningful and challenging career after more than 20 years in cor-

porate marketing, Michelle Minor recently founded Michelle Minor Mediation, making the

switch from a corporate officer to a professional conflict specialist.

As an arbitrator and mediator working from her home office in Lenexa, Minor thrives in

helping two parties move toward a common goal before confrontations escalate, handling

cases involving harassment, discrimination and labor disputes.

A recent recipient of the

Certificate of Learning

from Baker’s Conflict

Management Dispute

Resolution, Minor under-

stands the importance of

impartiality and neutrality

in preventing a confronta-

tion from escalating. This

intuitive professional uses her calm demeanor to create a positive attitude while building a

trust with her clients, attempting to avoid a drawn-out legal process.

When the sessions become impassioned, she allows the parties to vent for a while, remind-

ing them that mediation is not about the past but about “how we move forward.” Minor

remains calm and in control, building a rapport with the clients to let them know she is nego-

tiating in their best interests. She gains their confidence by listening to their stories, under-

standing two different perspectives and then makes a decision beneficial to both parties while

maintaining their trust.

“Michelle left a high-level corporate position because she wanted to focus on dispute resolu-tion as a mediator and arbitrator. She has the experience and desire to help two parties reach an amicable agreement.”

–Valerie Burke, Director, CMDR Program

A new mission...

Bill AndersonSchool of Nursing 2006 Graduate

“He was interested in being involved in mission work some day and decided that the perfect fit for him was nursing. Bill added so much of his life experiences to the classroom and clinical with his many life experiences. The School of Nursing is proud to have been part of Bill’s transi-tion from lawyer to nurse.”

–Loanne Martin, SON Program Manager

Raised in a family known for its intense curiosity and a constant craving to experience more

out of life, Bill Anderson decided a couple of years to pursue a nursing career. The transfor-

mation followed 20 successful years as an attorney for the Kansas Department of Health and

Environment and the Kansas Department of Agriculture.

A kid-person at heart, the

promising nurse precisely fed

a baby through a tube his final

weeks of his clinical work during

12-hour shifts monitoring pre-

mature infants at Stormont-Vail

HealthCare’s neonatal intensive

care unit.

Why the nursing profession? He

had an appreciation for mission

work and wanted to be certain

he was helping people.

Anderson’s compassion for others earned the respect of his classmates. His fellow students se-

lected him to speak at the School of Nursing pinning ceremony two days before graduation.

Ten days later on Christmas night, Anderson officially began his second career as a nurse. He

provides in-home care to terminally ill children and is on call for the general medical/surgical

floor at Stormont-Vail HealthCare.

One doesn’t discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.
