Akura is the heart and soul of the President’s Office. She deftly manages a myriad of tasks for President Hans with calm efficiency and virtually instant responsiveness any time of the day or night (or weekend!). Akura also provides leadership and support to the other EAs in the organization, keeping them informed of important matters and working with our leadership team to address their concerns. Finally, Akura does a masterful job in supervising our Presidential Scholars program, giving these bright young graduates from our institutions the experience of a lifetime while providing invaluable service to our divisions. Akura, we can’t thank you enough for doing the work of 3 people expertly, efficiently, and with good humor!
