A.C. Poynter came to Butler after being recruited to play football by coaches Steve Braet, Dale Remsberg and Fayne Henson. During his time at Butler, he built lasting relationships with faculty and staff and was part of a historic team: Butler’s first football national championship in 1981.⁣⁣
⁣
His Butler experience helped shape more than his time on the field. Poynter learned the value of teamwork, built friendships with people from different backgrounds and found the foundation for a career in education.⁣⁣
⁣
After Butler, Poynter went on to spend 38 years as a teacher and coach. Today, he stays involved in his community as a volunteer driver for Victory in the Valley.⁣⁣

“Being a Butler alum gives me great pride. I have always loved El Dorado and the people who make Butler one of the best schools in Kansas.”⁣

Kayla (Banzet) Katzer chose Butler because of the journalism program and a magazine scholarship that helped make her education possible. As a member of the Grizzly magazine team and its editor, she developed the writing, communication and leadership skills that would shape her career.⁣⁣
⁣
Faculty members John Jenkinson and Mike Swan also played an important role, supporting Katzer’s writing and goals as she found her voice and gained confidence.⁣⁣
⁣
After Butler, Katzer transferred to the University of Kansas, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in journalism. Today, she is a market manager for Crossland Construction and has spent the past 10 years working in communications and marketing.⁣⁣
⁣
“Butler gave me a strong foundation in writing, storytelling, and communication that I continue to use every day.”⁣⁣
⁣
She also sees Butler as more than the start of her career — it was a place where she built lasting friendships and found people who invested in her future.⁣⁣
