Celebrating Leadership for 175 Years: What's Your Legacy?

More than 250 students and staff joined us for an inspiring day with our incredible keynote speaker and alumni presenters!

Keynote Speaker: Sean Stephenson

Expected to die at birth, Sean Stephenson has faced an army of reasons to give up and countless opportunities to embrace pity. He suffered more than 200 bone fractures by age 18, reached a height of only 3 feet, and is permanently confined to a wheelchair. However, this man took a STAND for a quality of life that has inspired millions of people around the world. Come to this session to learn more about Sean’s life and that anything is possible if you get off your ‘but’ and ‘stand’! His goals for the day are:

Eliminate fears of inadequacy on an unconscious level
Provide strategies for deep interpersonal connections in professional environments
Offer tools to avoid conflicts that can arise from inaccurate assumptions
Foster a positive vision of an individual's future
Discuss questions and processes to recognize life purpose.

“Anything is possible if you get off your ‘but’ and ‘stand’!
