Monday, July 21st, 2008:  Jill Lingard; 7:00-8:00pm, Reitz Union Grand BallroomIn 2006, 19-year UF advising veteran Jill Lingard dropped out of normal life for five months and attempted a 2,175-mile thru-hike on the Appalachian Trail. What do endless climbs of mountains, bear sightings, stinky fellow hikers, floods, and freeze dried food have to do with university life? Quite a bit, actually! Come hear Jill’s entertaining story of AT adventures and the meaning they may hold for your own college journey. Themes: time management, making the most of your experience, and self-reflection.
