class notes Left: Matteus Johnson ’12 and Leah Parker ’12 celebrated their 66-month anniversary by surprising friends and family with a “GraduWedding” on May 13, 2016, in Colorado Springs, Colorado. An hour earlier Leah had attended Commencement ceremonies celebrating the completion of her master’s degree in clinical psychology. Leah’s graduation party turned into a BOGO when she and Matt announced that they had acquired all the paperwork necessary to marry that day! Celebration with friends and family will continue into the summer with receptions in both Colorado and Minnesota. This fall Leah will join Matt in Douglas, Arizona, where he is the assistant coach of the women’s soccer program at Cochise College.
Luke Beck ’14 and Kaitlin McGee ’14 got engaged on campus in March. Faculty/Staff Ron Hamm, former University Relations employee, has published a new biography, Ross Calvin: Interpreter of the American Southwest. It is his third book about New Mexico-based themes.
