Jefferson City, MO – Jacob Layne, Sarah Schultz, Joseph Blank and Marina Rojas were nominated to represent Missouri Southern State University during the 2019 Missouri Governor’s Student Leadership Forum on Faith and Values.
Created by former Missouri Governor and 79th U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, the three-day forum extended from Wednesday, January 9 through Friday, January 11, 2019. This Leadership Forum on Faith and Values encouraged these students by challenging their decision-making, values and belief systems using the platform of servant leadership. More important than the compilation of the perfect resume, the forum addressed character development in these men and women.
Student leaders studied the principles of reconciling relationships, standing for truth and loving their neighbor as themselves. In a world where self-interest is the guiding current, the Missouri Governor’s Student Leadership Forum offered a worldview that is others-centered, embracing altruism rather than egotism.
During the forum, Layne, Schultz, Blank and Rojas attended the Governor’s Prayer Breakfast with featured speaker St. Louis Sheriff Vernon Betts, attended the 2019 Legislative Inaugural Ball and heard from dynamic speakers including Governor Michael Parson and Lt. Governor Mike Kehoe. Other speakers included former ABC News journalist Gregory Lemos from Atlanta, GA; Jefferson City business owner Taisir Yanis; Michael Lanahan of the Missouri Department of Economic Development; Linda Slattery of the National Student Leadership Forum in Washington, D.C.; Missouri State Representatives Kevin Windham and Dave Griffith; and Missouri State Sentator Brian Williams.
