We want to extend a special thanks and acknowledge the intellectual and service contributions that Kathryn contributed to the Dialogues Across Differences program during her time at Dickinson. Kathryn has been an invaluable resource and has done so much good for the program. The Dialogues Across DIfferences program would not be where it is today without Kathryn Heard.
