Great things happen when our brightest minds have the freedom to explore. When we pursue our unique interests, the resulting collective capacity for innovation is limitless. The issues of the future will require these creative solutions as the need to build connections between people, nations and disciplines has never been greater.
On May 28th, UBC closed out the Centennial year with some great minds providing perspectives on topics of the future.
Through the power of his own story and the inspiration he’s found in others, Rick Hansen encourages us all to dream big and make a difference in our own lives and in the world. Rick challenges audiences to check their own attitudes and question the barriers to success that hold them back from reaching their full potential.
Rick Hansen provided The Last Word in the February 2016 online issue of Trek Magazine.
