"I have known Dr. Durgans since 2020. We first met by phone during COVID as he was helping my medical school navigate recruitment of students in his capacity as Diversity Officer. His role has now evolved to Associate Provost for Student Culture and Engagement. He continues to be a great advocate for students. He wants the institution to thrive and understands that the recruitment and support of students is at the forefront of that goal. He's a professional and a gentleman. "

"Kenneth Durgans is moxy if there ever was a thing. He’s poised and discerning, gentle yet firm, and consistently deciphering ways to solve opportunities for the best good, for all. Unwavering in his knowledge he works with people to create wisdom among the masses. And, that is no small endeavor."

"Dr. Durgans is one of the most kind and compassionate people I've had the opportunity to meet in my professional career. He truly cares about people, has a positive attitude and a contagious laugh! I am fortunate to call him a mentor and friend."
