Jeffrey

The moments I still be believe in God
fall into two categories:

1) When something grace-fully takes me by surprise
2) Encountering you, doing anything you do

You are the kind of academic, activist, administrator, christian, father, minister, friend, & mentor that most folks only dream of being. In watching your kindness, hard work and spirit of tireless generosity, I am assured change from within is possible, one person can make a difference, and the institution can't corrupt everyone. For the ways you held me in Asia and the ways you hold this school accountable with love, for your prophecy, poignancy and passion, for your fire, can't-stop-won't-stop ethic of justice, and the way you humble us all: thank you Kah-Jin Kuan, thank you.
