What Matters to Me & Why: Ken O’Donnell, M.F.A.
November 13, 2025 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

“Over the years I’ve given more than my share of presentations, but getting this one ready is still hard. Maybe we’ll just have the cookies.”
~ Provost Ken O’Donnell
We invite you to attend the presentation of “What Matter’s to Me and Why” this Thursday, November 13 at 1 pm in the Ludwick Center Sacred Space.
This series features a staff, faculty, or administrator to share what matters to them most and why: reflections on their pivotal experiences, important identities, spirituality/faith/philosophy, deepest values, sense of meaning/purpose, commitments and practices that guide, shape, sustain and motivate them in this life. The series is an opportunity to be inspired by one another, build community, and to deepen connection through authentic sharing and conversation. We hope you will join us!
Our speaker will be Ken O’Donnell, Provost. We are excited for Provost O’Donnell to share with our community!
“What Matters to Me and Why” is held in the Sacred Space. The program includes a 20-minute presentation by the featured speaker, a time of Q&A, and the final 15 minutes will be a light reception of coffee, tea and the speaker’s favorite snack food! All employees and students are invited.
This series is sponsored by the Office of the Provost and the Office of Inclusive Excellence and Mission Integration.
