Extraordinary! One man I can look up to and respect,
Incredibly, mind blowing and memorable,
and Incredibly inspiring, amazing human being, invaluable to hear him first hand
…are among the words heard from participants’ after experiencing Patch Adams, the real person behind the hit movie Patch Adams
, starring Robin Williams.
Patch set new standards for the event as a speaker. He was mind blowing and raised the event to new heights. His presentation was entirely relevant to the audience.
Behind his clown-like persona lies a great deal of wisdom, and it often falls to the court jester to speak the truth that those in power need to hear.
His message was timely. He spoke with passion. He was intelligent and challenged our students to think about themselves and their beliefs. He was intense in personal moments and let our students know that thinking is a full time obligation.
