Today marks my last day of blogging for Solar Car. I am stepping down as Head of Communications, and leaving the Solar Car Team as I graduate this weekend and prepare to start Law School on June 2nd.
To my faithful blog audience, thank you for reading my words. Curating a blog Monday through Friday no matter how busy life gets does not happen without the motivation that comes from knowing that I have always had your support. You are the most loyal of audiences.
To Solar Car, thank you for welcoming me into your team and encouraging me in my endeavor. Being a part of Solar Car has defined my senior year. Being around such intelligent, dedicated people has rubbed off and made me a little better, too. Thank you for letting me represent you to the world. I enjoyed being a part of your Wilson Center World, and I can’t wait until October when you finally get the victory that you’ve been working towards since I joined over a year ago.
After nearly 90 blog posts I am retiring my kanolan penname. Although I leave reluctantly, I leave knowing that the new blogger, kmriley, will tackle the blog with fresh insight and improve on what has come before.





YOU FOUND MY MASK!!!!
You’ve done a spectacular job, kanolan. We all look forward to seeing where kmriley takes this next…with now hourly updates! But seriously, keep up the great work.
Good luck in law school Kathy!
you’ve done really great job. i was big fan of you. good luck with law school.
Kathy, Thank you so much for your help this year. Business would not have been the same without you.
Go Blue!!!!!
Thanks for helping share the things that make solar car awesome with the rest of the world – the blog has been truly amazing! You are welcome back any time if law school gets too boring.
Bye, Kathy! I’ve read every one of your posts – you’re a very engaging writer. Maybe you can do a guest entry yourself someday to let everyone know how you’re doing. Best of luck in law school!
Kathy, you are fantastic. This awesome new website and the life you bring to it have completely revamped the face of the team and the change has been amazing! Good luck in law school and please come back to visit often!
As a solar car team alumni from long, long ago, a hearty thank you for keeping us up to date and connected to the team and university better than any other team in the 20+ year history of solar car racing. Well done and thanks!
