Who says college administrators are … ahem… stuffed shirts? NWC President Stefani Hicswa was one of the first in line to ride the zip line on campus and later showed Block and Bridle Club members how to wrestle pigs.
Her frequent outdoor pursuits, with family in tow, make for memorable moments, like the time her youngest son climbed to the top of Heart Mountain by her side and declared, “In your face, Heart Mountain!”
Stefani has a fondness for writers like Chaucer, Dan Brown and Nicholas Sparks, but for total escapism, give her any title in the Stefanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. Bounty hunter with an attitude—yup, that’ll do it!
