Dianne Beatty
In ways both subtle and unmistakable, Diane Beatty (BSB 78-Accounting) embodies Hornet alumni who are dedicated to lifelong service to Emporia State University. Since earning her degree, she has provided support to the university and its students in numerous and multi-faceted ways.
Tyler Curtis
The connections Tyler Curtis (BSE 01-English and Social Sciences; MS 04-Educational Administration) enjoys with Emporia State University are as deeply rooted as the picturesque trees opposite Plumb Hall. He’s a two-time graduate, a former employee and an unabashed supporter of all things black and gold.
Linda Hurt
Linda Hurt (BSB 77-Accounting) has a belief in community support that underpins her commitment to ESU. Now retired from Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, Hurt manages the Hurt Family Foundation. She has years of volunteerism and gifts to her undergraduate alma mater that are rooted in that community spirit.
Mike Law
Now retired after a successful career as a nationally renowned radio personality and executive, Michael Law remains a decorated ESU alumni and constant figure at campus events and Hornet games. Through volunteerism, board memberships and previously serving as the Hornets’ radio play-by-play announcer, there’s little the Emporia native hasn’t done for the university since earning his degree more than four decades ago.
