Meet the Instructor....

Pro-Tip for Success at KU...

A mistake I made—and that students still make—is to feel like it’s better or somehow more meaningful to do college alone. The thinking is: “If I need help, should I really be here?” Well, you SHOULD be here, and everyone NEEDS help to succeed. Don’t figure it out too late: Help is a main ingredient in success!

When you visit my office…

I meet students outside my office, like in the Underground, Union, or libraries. Look for my table sign to easily identify me. We can discuss course topics or anything else you like. If you need to talk privately, we can find a suitable spot or set up an appointment in advance. Just send me an email! (vartia@ku.edu)

Furry Family Members...

A kitty named Ebony lives with me. She adopted me as her human in March of 2025. She’s a lover, not a hater.
