Mike Dilbeck not only brought information to my students about bystander behavior, he brought a contagious energy and passion that demonstrated the importance of taking action that my students heard. Since Mike’s keynote and breakout session, so many students are telling me of times when they were able to be an every|day hero and how they felt empowered to be the difference.

Ethan was a fantastic guest speaker to have on campus! He was so energetic and outgoing! His passion for Grassroot Soccer and the choices he's made for his life just shine through him in everything he does. He personally greeted almost all of the 50+ audience members before he spoke. Our students were so captivated by Ethan's story that not a single cell phone was out, and you could have hear a pin drop in the room!

Erica delivered an incredibly impactful message to over 500 of our freshmen and athletes. Her story is tragic yet compelling and stimulated a lot of discussion around the topic of alcohol use and social responsibility. She was able to engage the students, inspire and educate them without preaching to them. The response from students and faculty has been overwhelmingly positive.

Our women have brought Mari Ann to campus for the past 8 years to work with Panhellenic Recruitment Counselors. She is engaging, creates a comfortable atmosphere, and challenges them to be strong women of purpose. Our women rave about her every year for weeks following the event. She is truly working as a change agent in Fraternity and Sorority Life across the country.

Bobby came to Washington State University to speak about alcohol for our mandatory Greek Alcohol Awareness program. He was on time and really easy to work with...He did a great job and we would like to have him back in the future.

Erica Upshaw came to Ohio State last night and gave an inspiring presentation for Greek Life and Ohio State Athletes. This was NOTHING like a typical boring speech on how to drink safe. Erica brings her own experiences into her presentation along with a lot of personality. She has certainly influenced me and I am sure many others. I highly recommend bringing Erica to any college, high school, or middle school to speak!

James was the keynote speaker for the 29th Annual Leadership Conference. He spoke to a crowd of almost 200 students and staff, keeping the room engaged, and discussing things that were relevant to which students could relate to. His creativity, humor, and life experiences really stood out and helped create a great experience for our students. Thanks James!

We had a wonderful experience with Erica on our campus. Her message is one of importance and relevance for college students. Students were engaged and responded to her powerful story without feeling like they were being lectured or talked down to. She is truly an inspirational young woman.

Hi Mary Jo! I just wanted to say thanks again for coming to Mizzou to talk about relationships and self esteem! Your story is amazing, but the way you told it made it unforgettable and a learning experience for everyone who heard you. You did a great job and I'm so glad I got to meet you!

I listened to you speak at MU. I didn't think I needed to attend since I rarely party. You made a connection for me that I hadn't made myself. My friends often party and drink excessively. They ask me to come with them but I don't. What kind of friend lets them go make bad decisions and get sick without a concern? Next time my friends ask me to come I will. I'll be there to keep them safe, and, most importantly, to keep them alive. Thank you!
