What Participants are Saying
"Dr. Bobby's talk was absolutely amazing. He was very engaging and I found myself so interested in what he was talking about that I hardly felt any time pass. His experience in the Marines was invaluable to hear about, especially because I think we can all use a reminder of how veterans sacrifice so much."
-Faculty Participant
"I thought he was GREAT. I was intrigued by the topic, and definitely connected with his journey. This was a great talk - so thoughtful and clearly delivered. I've thought many times about what he said: 'what is in our way, is our way,' and all the ways he demonstrated that in his own life"
-Retreat Attendee
