What Past Scholarship Winners Say

“This conference changed the way I think about the world. It will go down as one of my life-changing experiences.” —Lauren

“Every talk was intellectually exhilarating. I met amazing people, made great memories, and am leaving feeling inspired and energized.” —Julian

“Ten minutes into Craig Biddle's talk on Friday morning, I knew I was in for something amazing. All the speakers spoke at a level that was challenging yet very approachable and understandable. It was delightful!” —Leisa

“I wasn’t a big believer in the power of poetry or movies, but after Lisa VanDamme’s talk, I was blown away. I could not believe such poetry could have as much power as a full novel in some cases…. I realized that consuming art wasn’t a waste of time, detracting away from productive work, but fuel to work more productively.” —Chetan

“The integration of the presentations was fantastic! They all had a common thread. The very actionable lectures on taking ownership of your career and finances were extremely valuable to me.” —Celeste

“I loved seeing speakers walking around. It’s like brushing shoulders with your heroes.” —Dominick
