Campus Life Matters
Every aspect of life is in full form on campus. Students get to work, get to play and get to be passionate about whatever they define important.
Sadly, some students graduate with regret, wishing they indulged in more aspects of life on campus: The programs they never tried, the places they never went and the people they never met. Blake empowers students to graduate happy by making the most of their student life.
Based on stories from his book, “The Campus Life Guide,” and his near decade of work in university residences, Blake transforms his written words into this thought-provoking keynote. Blake uses live music, storytelling and appropriate humor to provide students with the keys to unlock their full potential in university and ways to inspire their peers to do the same. Blake shows students how to access all of the opportunities available to them on campus and provides tools to immediately implement these examples.
Students leave Blake’s programs with a heightened appreciation of their school, their peers and themselves. Blake equips students with fun ways to say thank you and appreciate others in person and online. Students will rethink the significance of their student life, and the positive impact they can have on peers, teachers, friends and family along the way.
