Pose for Symposium!!!

On Wednesday, April 12, 2023, Piedmont University held its annual Symposium, where students present the research they have been working on all year long. Speaker Jacob Balot gave his presentation on “The Relationship Between Coaching Philosophy and Team Success,” in the Stewart Auditorium during the first of seven sessions.
Speaker Maddie Cassidy gave her presentation on “The History of Concussion and its Relationship to Balance,” in the Stewart Auditorium during the second session of Piedmont University’s annual Symposium. In this photo, Cassidy was explaining the methods she used to collect her data.
Piedmont’s Symposium is a campus-wide event with multiple presentations going on at one time. These posters were located in the Commons Gym and took place during the first session of presentations in this location.

I loved this picture because the falcon was fully spread and the sunlight was also hitting it’s wings just the right way.

Easter Weekend!

Over the weekend, I traveled to Cleveland, Tennesee to compete in the Flames Invitational. It was a two day meet which started on Friday April 7th. In this photo other college athletes are preparing to compete in the Long Jump event.
On Easter Sunday, I joined my girlfriend and her family for a delicious breakfast at First Watch Cafe located in Buford, Georgia.
