Another fun photo to bring back memories:
Last weekend, the SDA program celebrated its 20th anniversary. On Friday, a crowd of professionals, students and alumni gathered for Professional Development Day. It was my first time hearing Dr. Larry Roper speak and it was incredible. I even tweeted and thought I would share some of the inspirational and profound quotes from the day with you:
"Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves...Live the questions now...live your way into the answer." Rilke
"Embody grace -- be graceful, gracious, and grateful!" Dr. Larry Roper
"Our students and our community deserve more than to be lead by people who think their best life is behind them." Dr. Larry Roper
"Our work is to believe in other people's children." Dr. Larry Roper
"In challenging times, how do you bring generosity to your leadership?" Dr. Larry Roper
The culmination of the celebration weekend was the Sunday brunch. I was excited to reconnect with a few former classmates and experience the community spirit among the wide SDA community.
