Way to Go Garrett!!

Obviously most of our recent postings have been all about Lily . . . this time this posting is all about Garrett.

I am so proud of Garrett. He has worked so hard to earn his MBA . He is finally on his last stretch of school . . . 20 more days until graduation. Yah!!

Garrett always gets an inquisitive look when people learn that he is a Mormon doing his graduate work at a Catholic university. Garrett's response is so true. He always expresses how very impressed he is with the strong values that the University of Notre Dame exemplifies.

Just as impressive, the university expects those same great values be exemplified by its students/graduates. The University of Notre Dame's MBA Values statement is the following:

In 1842, Father Edward Sorin, a young French missionary, arrived in South Bend Indiana. He surveyed the land provided to him and announced his vision: to build a great Catholic University. Father Sorin’s leadership, charisma and faith created the foundation that transformed this dream into a reality.

As members of the University of Notre Dame, we reaffirm our commitment to Father Sorin’s belief that the leaders graduating from this MBA program will be a force for good in the world.

To that end, we believe the following values exemplify our University and our program.

Community Responsibility, Excellence, Integrity, Leadership,and Spirituality

With that said, I am so excited to share the news that Garrett was nominated by a fellow student, Joe Kindt, for the leadership award. Please see link below to view his nomination.

Again, Garrett, we are so proud of you and all of your accomplishments!
