I thought the most fun you could have in your life was calling your mom one February afternoon and telling her you’re moving to Africa for the summer.

Leah Erickson earned an MA in Speech Communication in 1970 at UW. Professor Laura Crowell never had Erickson as a student but observed her progress from afar until graduation, when she pulled her aside and encouraged her to further her studies. Erickson now juggles her work as a Temple University professor and real-estate agent, and she has her own business, The Appraisal Network.
