In addition to my teaching duties I manage the Millikin Blue Connection, a unique business endeavor that synergistically combines the strengths and diverse talents of the students and faculty of Millikin University. Step into the Blue Connection Gallery -- it's easy to find in downtown Decatur, Illinois, in the Madden Arts Center, home of the Decatur Area Arts Council.

Blue Connection Gallery is staffed by students and Millikin volunteers. It's the perfect place to find a unique gift for that special someone.
