Cohort One Ed.D. student, Dorothy Drexel, presented at a Leadership Conference in Cape Town, South Africa

"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" Day 4 in Cape Town
"Ours is a work to solve the needs of the people." Those were the opening words of one of the World Food Prize Laureates that addressed the conference yesterday about his work in Uganda with growing orange flesh sweet potatoes. I am far from an agricultural researcher, and I have never thought about the orange flesh sweet potato, but the passion that this man had about making a life changing difference for his fellow humans was palpable. The other line that stood out of his presentation for me was: "This crop improves vitamin A status and the reduction of stunting in children. The orange flesh sweet potato has so much untapped potential." This global vision is the mindset that we all should have, and in turn, this honored scholar's words are metaphorical for our work in the classroom. How are we focusing on topics that are potential building instead of being bogged down with the distractions of "empty calories"? So...I presented the information about my future study. It was well received, and I now have made many connections with like-minded researchers from around the world. This was an experience that I lack words to describe.
