Athletics and Leadership: Making the Connection

Alternate Chapel

Frey 110

7:30pm -8:30

Athletics and leadership are often connected through current and former athletes and coaches such as John Wooden, Billie Jean King, Tiger Woods, Charles Barkley, and Larry Bird. Mass media and popular culture often elevate coaches and athletes to leadership positions based solely on athletic performance. This panel discussion will provide students the opportunity to interact with coaches, athletes and faculty members as they share their experiences and thoughts regarding the connection between leadership, athletics and the Christian Faith.

Moderated by Wendy Cheesman, M.S., Senior Lecturer in Athletic Training

Dave Brandt, M.Ed., Director of Recreational Sports/Head Men’s Soccer Coach

Student Leadership Summit: The Great Balancing Act
Alternate Chapel

7:00pm - 8:30pm

Frey 110

Balancing Act

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matt. 11:28

Student leaders are actively involved in a wide array of activities that ultimately seek to minister God's Grace to the world outside of Messiah as well as to one another. As they seek to be faithful to the variety of different roles they fill, the question of balance is crucial. How can they balance meeting the needs of the world they serve against the needs of their friends, family, church and their own need for rest and spiritual renewal? Sometimes it seems like there is so much to do, and so little time! Our panel discussion will provide students with the opportunity to hear from members of the Messiah community who are active in leadership in a variety of ways, and hear their perspectives on how they work at maintaining balance between their multiple roles.

Moderated by Naomi Hepkins, SGA Vice President of Educational Programs

Panel Members include:

John Bechtold, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology

Faith Minnich, Assistant to the Dean of External Programs
