LAST MEETING

Robert Meeks

Mr. Meeks, Rhodes Scholar applicant and UTC Engineering Honors Student, fielded questions from those in attendance. The questions focussed on how he meet his challenges and became an honor student. The wisdom of this young man can be summed up by his response to the question, "Were you born with your motivation; what drives you?" Mr. Meeks responded, "I work hard on everything I do because my name will be associated with the results."

Words of profound wisdom for us all!

Program Chair: Pete Rolston
