“For us in particular, this event is a really good community event,” Dr. Matt Quade, associate dean for values-based leadership and director of the Center for Christian Leadership and Ethics, said. “It allows us to gather together, not just with students, but faculty and staff, all gathering together. We can come together within the business school, just for an hour each semester, and spend some time together in prayer and worship.”

There is a first time for everything, and no one is perfect at a new thing right away, so you should not expect yourself or anyone else to get everything right immediately.
