Assistant Professor, School of Business and Leadership
Faculty Advisor and Sam Walton Fellow, Students in Free Enterprise

At one time in my life (my 20’s) I thought it was all about my achievements. Then one day I walked into a church near Stanford University and carved in wood in 3-foot high letters I read this verse: You are not your own, you are bought with a price (1Cor 6.19-20)... That changed everything for me. Now at PBU, I hold on to a verse every day, especially when I am weary — Phil 4.13: I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength.

Hunger Project

Rachel Park, our new SIFE President, worked diligently all year with her committee to participate with Campbell's and SIFE USA and the national Let's Can Hunger campaign. We just learned PBU was selected as an award-winner for our hunger relief campaign and business plan going forward next year. Besides collecting canned goods to donate to the local Penndel Food Bank, PBU-SIFE plans to move forward educating low income community members develop job preparation skills to help lessen the dependence on food banks. Our fall event, Can-o-Treating on Halloween provides the opportunity for students to go door-to-door, collect food and educate about the problem of hunger in our own county. Campbell's awarded funds to help the team support these efforts, a real affirmation of our work all year and an encouragement to go forward.
