(Passionate Pursuit Presentations are six-minute TED-like talks (with Powerpoint slides) by class members about a personal off-career interest pursued intensively – hiking the Appalachian Trail from George to Maine; becoming a Buddhist monk; racing antique Jaguars; writing an epic novel; setting the record for pole-sitting.

Class members relate what the passion is; the story of why they chose it and how pursued it; perhaps showing an example; what learned from it; what might be next with it.

This is not a platform for advocacy, rather it’s the opportunity for classmates to learn new dimensions of old class members – “You do that? Wow! How interesting.”)

To volunteer your Passionate Pursuit, please include your name, email, title of passionate pursuit, and a short paragraph description in the text box below.

Question Title
