I guest lectured, led climbing trips, and gave a keynote speech — and I left with my heart feeling fuller than when I arrived. Arkansas, you’re doing it right. Thank you. 💚 (As a thank-you to @uozarks students, I want to send you a little something. Comment your favorite s’mores topping, and I’ll pick a random winner to send a surprise!)
