Rita Horn
 Academic Adviser

Where? I' am an honest to goodness Hoosier (Indiana native) where my alumni stroll takes me through the hallowed halls of Broad Ripple High Rockets space, Ball State University Cardinals land (BS in Business Education) and Purdue University Bulldogs territory (MS in Guidance and Counseling).

What? The first stop on my career path was as a counselor at a fascinating high school specifically built and programmed as a team teaching institution with lecture, seminar and study lab course instruction model in suburban Chicago. After nine years, my career trial went "Westward Ho!" in search of more blue sky, sun, stars and warmth to a twenty one year sprint in community mental health in Las Cruces. In 1997, a new opportunity put me back on the career path to a settlement in Mustang country as a WNMU advisor / counselor.

Who? I have kept a lingering exuberant feeling and interest in car racing, basketball, and football from my growing up years in the state of Indiana. I experience great enjoyment while dawdling in a variety of artsy, crafty endeavors, leisure novel reading, and listening to great classical masterpieces and the Rockin' Rollin' sound of the 50's and 60's. I am reverently awed in the presence of Nature's sounds and sights so enjoy camping, walking and picnicking or just sitting under that old elm with a good book. I appreciate and strive for simplicity, calmness, humor and positivism in my daily living.
