Naomi and I started the Silk Speaker Series to do multiple things, enhance what our students are learning in the classroom, and hopefully we can connect our students to our alumni and make our USF community that much stronger. 

When you’re doing something you love and you’re passionate about it, the people you meet, the places that you go, the world starts to open up and that’s where your life becomes interesting.

The more you know about history, the more you know about yourself, and if you dunno about history, it’s hard to shape the future.

Some of the best products and movements in our life that are really successful came from a person who wanted it for themselves. Get involved in your school, in the community, and then go touch somebody else’s life who is less fortunate than your own.
