Ryan Vaughn’s “Callings”<\/em> talk – Chase the mission, not the money<\/em><\/strong> – was unbelievably good. \u00a0Ryan described his journey in many of the same ways classmate Jeremy Bird ’00 did in an earlier Callings<\/em> presentation.<\/p>\n

Ryan’s journey looks like, in his words, “someone who couldn’t hold a job.” \u00a0However, his explanation clearly presents a search for opportunities to help people and his community. \u00a0His path also reinforces the fact that doing a good job in the position you hold opens doors for future growth and development.<\/p>\n

Before Ryan began his talk, Rick Cavanaugh ’76, the President of our Alumni Board, presented the Young Alumnus Award to Ryan. \u00a0Originally scheduled for Homecoming, a death in Ryan’s family prevented his attendance. \u00a0As it turned out, his award citation was a great opening to his talk and reinforced what a remarkable young man he is.<\/p>\n
