Ken Stevens was one of the kindest and gentlest men I have ever known. His selflessness compared to no other. He was always willing to help encourage photo students, teach in the minority workshop, look at portfolios and come speak in the photo classes at CMU.
I had my point-and-shoot when he was awarded Alum of the Year at CMU in 2013 and I made some video clips. Today, when I found them and listened to them, I realized that in both of them he is speaking of other’s and not himself. In one, he tells the story of when he found out his wife was named valedictorian. In the other, he encourages students to apply for internships. The kindness he showed us lives forever in our hearts.
