Wow. When I saw the University of Denver image I had to double check the URL to make sure I had the right page! I am an undergrad studying international studies at DU and it's great to see JKSIS and its diversity efforts getting some coverage, especially on your blog. I've been following it for a while and love what you write about.
I didn't mean for this to turn into "you're awesome!" comment, but I guess it did. So, you're awesome!
Thanks John!
