Summaries

Summary Sentence: No summary sentence submitted.

Full Summary: As part of National Recovery Month, Mark Sterner will deliver his story about making choices and the everlasting impact it can have on friends, families and oneself. 

Just three months before graduation, Mark and four of his fraternity brothers—and best friends—headed to Spring Break. On the final night, they decided the least drunk would drive home. In his acclaimed keynote, Mark leaves students with a real story that forces them to confront their own decisions. He doesn’t preach or tell people what to do, but puts real faces to the tragic consequences of impaired driving by showing videotape the friends made of their trip, ending just moments before the crash. Mark helps students realize that the simple choice they make, like drinking and driving, can cause an everlasting impact on their friends, families and themselves.
