<div>
<ul>
	<li>&quot;Our amazing&nbsp;<strong>alumnx stories</strong>, most told in person, some via videos, which demonstrate the degree to which our students&#39; educational experience is shaped by their close collaboration with individual faculty. Clearly, our students love their LMC experience becaus&nbsp;we challenge them, and because we treat them as valuable human beings and include them in our creative activity/scholarship/research.</li>
	<li>Our amazing&nbsp;<strong>hidden talents</strong>, which became obvious during several dance interludes.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Our&nbsp;<strong>alumnxs</strong>&#39; willingness to&nbsp;<strong>support</strong>&nbsp;us in our educational endeavor: Distinguished IAC/LMC alumnus and LMC advisory board member <a href="https://www.iac.gatech.edu/news-events/stories/2018/12/atlanta-developer-gene-kansas-joins-lmc-advisory-board/615185"><strong>Gene Kansas</strong></a>&nbsp;announced he will support graduate student travel this year via the <strong>&quot;DeAnna &amp; Gene Kansas Travel Award.&quot;</strong></li>
</ul>

<p>Kansas, an Atlanta cultural developer and 2016 Master&#39;s graduate from LMC&#39;s Digital Media program, recently&nbsp;joined the School&#39;s Advisory Board.</p>

<p>LMC is a unit of the <strong>Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts.</strong></p>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never

         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
