Southern's Wellness Summit: June 10-11

Huckabee, who ran for president in the 2008 election, will put politics aside and focus on the story of how he lost 110 pounds and completed four marathons after being diagnosed with type II diabetes. 

The summit, held on the campus of Southern, will feature presentations, stimulating activities, practical workshops, and opportunities to network with academic, church, healthcare, and corporate wellness leaders. The program includes a range of speakers who are experts in the topics of nutrition, mental health, purposeful living, workplace wellness, and more.

Outdoor Leadership Class Bikes Through Death Valley

On the first day of Adventure Leadership class, the instructor told the group their semester could go one of two ways: it could be an academic-type class where they would write lots of papers, or a class where they would plan an epic expedition that would enhance both their leadership skills and resume. They chose the latter.
