Carlow Impact Series ft. Blake Leeper

In this impact series, we explore societal barriers and self-imposed limitations and discuss how our whole selves – including our challenges – contribute to our ultimate success. To this end, Paralympic athlete Blake Leeper – a true example of mercy in motion – will join us for an inspiring keynote address.

Blake will share his remarkable journey as a paraplegic athlete who refused to let physical limitations define his potential. His story embodies the essence of justice – the right to pursue one’s dreams regardless of circumstances – and mercy, both toward oneself and others facing challenges.

Following Blake’s keynote, he will join Carlow Coach David Gordon, Professor of Psychology Dr. Jennifer Roth, and Carlow student-athlete Lyndsey Szekely in a panel discussion about pursuing passions and approaching obstacles with creativity and determination.
