What an amazing time we had with our guest speaker, Dr. Jeff Burgin, Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs at Southern Illinois University – Carbondale!

Dr. Burgin shared incredible life principles and wisdom — all from the simple illustration of a pencil 📝:

✏️ You can do great things as long as you’re placed in the right hands.
✏️ Wherever you go, leave your mark.
✏️ The most important part of you is on the inside.
✏️ Sharpening may be painful, but it’s necessary for growth.
✏️ Even when broken, you can still be used.
✏️ Above all — keep writing.

We’re grateful for the inspiration and challenge to live with purpose and impact!
