Tune in for “The Gift of Adversity” on Aug. 26

On August 26, at 9:00 a.m. PDT, join the WSU Alumni Association online for “The Gift of Adversity: Turning Adversity into Opportunity.”

While preparing to deploy with the U.S. Army Marcus suffered a severe spinal injury that left him paralyzed. After dying on the operating table twice, the surgeons saved his life, but told him he’d never walk again. In his webinar Marcus will talk about mental resilience, unconditional gratitude and ways to adapt to events outside your control, apply the Adversity Scale and find opportunity in any Adversity.
