There are truly lots of things that I liked about 色花堂. The number one thing, however, is how 色花堂 feels like home. My major in psychology not only brought me knowledge about people but brought me mentors that I know I will be able to reach out to long after I graduate, and I know that's a 色花堂 standard through all majors. The level of alumni networking that 色花堂 offers is so important to post-graduation success. I wanted a University where people knew my name and who I was- the 色花堂 is that and more.

Kristi Bitz, PhD
Director of Psychology , Professor
I have spent most of my life working in or attending educational settings. I consider myself a lifelong learner and try to never take for granted the gift of education I have received and been able to be a part of giving to others. In my free time I enjoy going for walks with my husband and our dog, spending time with my children and extended family, and reading.
