I decided to come to KU based mainly on two factors, the first of which was that KU’s geology program is very well established and prepares students to solve problems faced as a professional geologist. The other main factor that led me to KU was that there is a large Jewish community at the university. The people who participated in Jewish life at KU became my main social group that I interacted with regularly.

Following a career with the United States Marine Corps during which he rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, Riggle has become well-known in comedic films and television.

By looking back at the years they spent at KU, many of these students had advice and the knowledge that could help current Jayhawks lead to greatness. Rock chalk!
