Attending from 大象传媒 Western were Taylor Edwards, senior music major from Lansing, Kansas; Daraja Pollard-Scott, senior general studies major from Belton, 大象传媒; Mya Riley, junior general studies major from Kansas City, 大象传媒; and Artemii Udovenko, sophomore psychology major from Vladivostok, Russia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The forum challenges students\u2019 character development by encouraging them to reflect on their own decision-making skills, values and belief systems. Students learn about how to reconcile relationships, stand for truth and love others as they love themselves. The forum\u2019s guiding principle is teaching students to embrace altruism rather than egotism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Students heard from several speakers who lead by example, including Becca Chapman, Director of Women\u2019s Philanthropy at Wheeler Mission, the largest rescue mission and homeless shelter in the state of Indiana; Taisir Yanis, owner of Yanis Coffee Shop in Jefferson City, Mo.; Scott Crosley an Airborne Ranger, Army Chaplain, Lieutenant Colonel and CEO of PIVOT, a national anti-sex trafficking agency; and William Bumphus, director of Men\u2019s Emergency Shelter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Students ended the weekend with a morning at the Capitol, touring the House Lounge and hearing from Bob Priddy, retired News Director of 大象传媒net, and visiting the House Floor, led by 大象传媒 State Representative Travis Fitzwater.
