"Dr. Martin is extremely hard working and knowledgeable. She understands the process and the methods necessary to enact change or to convince others to stay the course. Dr. Martin testified in front of several legislative committees and could go toe-to-toe with many anti-education voices. She is strong, but subtle. Her winning smile can change hearts and her passion and intellectual competence can change minds. She is an amazing leader, confidant, and ally.

Dr. Martin and I share a vision for our young people. We want them to be strong, competent individuals that are ready to meet the needs of our community, our state, and our nation. Dr. Martin demands a standard of excellence that must not be compromised, because the stakes are too high. A person of her caliber is rare indeed.

I am very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work closely with her at Fort Hays State University."
