Jeremy Bird ’00 Talks To Students about His Calling<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“I feel purpose when I wake up in the morning…”\u00a0Jeremy Bird<\/em><\/p>\n

Jeremy Bird is a game-changing guy…ask the President of the United States.<\/p>\n

Jeremy was a Religion major at Wabash…then on to an MDiv at Harvard…the Kennedy School of Government…”Wakeup Walmart”…National Field Director for President Obama.<\/p>\n

But you can read all of that elsewhere…<\/p>\n

The Grunge attended Jeremy’s session on his\u00a0<\/span>Calling<\/em>…part of a series we’re doing here on campus. \u00a0He traced his path back to early childhood experiences…and he eloquently explained his path forward – driven by a mixture of faith, belief in making the world a better place, and a passion for organizing people for good. \u00a0By the time you read this, hopefully his talk will be on YouTube.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sure, Jeremy hit on Politics – mostly driven by the questions he received. \u00a0But this talk wasn’t about politics – it was career and life counseling, all rolled into one. \u00a0His high school and Wabash education set him up to explore..his off-campus study honed his skills and broadened his horizons.<\/p>\n

Do the Grunge a favor. \u00a0Set your political beliefs – ALL of them – on the coffee table, grab a cup of Java, a couple of fingers of a single malt or\u00a0Rally Point<\/em>\u00a0Rye, and watch the YouTube video. \u00a0You’ll be proud of Jeremy and equally proud of the key role\u00a0this Good Place<\/em>\u00a0played in his changing the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
