As I sit here and think about the last month, I am continually reminded about the amazing Program and University I have chosen to associate myself with. In the last 30 days I have gotten to meet thirty bright young highschoolers at McConnell Scholar Interviews, travel to NYC to watch my Cardinals battle it out to be Big East Champs, converse with Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), learn from the Commanding General at Fort Knox Kentucky, and finally end the month with getting my Outdoor Awareness Certificate from Scholar Ben Whitlock. To say this month has been a crazy adventure would be putting it mildly! The opportunities the Center, as well as the University has provided me will forever boggle my mind. We are on the move and I invite you to come and join us! The Center hosts a public lecture series every year and these lectures give all who attend the opportunity to experience what it means to be a McConnell Scholar. My second year with the Center is coming to an end, but I know that the lessons I am learning will be with me for a lifetime. I hope that you will take the time to learn more about the Center! Go Cards and Beat Duke!
