... that Dorothy Horrell, the current chancellor of University of Colorado Denver, grew up on a farm?Source: "I had a wonderful childhood growing up on a farm just outside of Holyoke." (KMGH-TV)

- Is there anything else that can be said about Horrell's life and career? To be honest, I don't really find the hook as written to be very interesting, as people growing up on farms is very commonplace in most parts of the world. I wouldn't be surprised if Horrell is far from the only female chancellor to have grown up on a farm. I think the Colorado WHoF angle might be more promising if that could be elaborated on.
