Ask yourself…

• Do you ever feel like the bar has been set so high, & if you don’t reach it, the consequences would be dire?
• Do you have a tough time accepting your own success (e.g., despite the Honors College choosing you, you feel unworthy to be here)?
• Do you ever feel like giving up because the stress of it all is just too much?

If you said “Yes” (or anything less than “Definitely not” 🙂 — this showcase is for you!  The following speakers will talk about a time in their life when they failed, but more importantly, will explain how they were able to pivot from that place and grow!

• Provost Jennifer Troyer
• COAA Interim Dean José Gámez
• COED Dean Malcolm Butler
• Chris Hart, CEO at Levvel
• Frenchie Wilson Brown, Immediate Past President, Alumni Board of Directors
• Stacey Tillman, Sr. Program Manager at Lowe’s
