Keynote Speaker: Dr. Richanne Mankey, Defiance College President “Giving Our Best as Servants in a World of Uncertainty”  There is no better place to reap the benefits of sowing seeds than on a college campus where students with raw potential and (un)realized academic skills apply grit and faith to face an uncertain world with grace and courage.  At Defiance College, as in life, continual engagement about a vision and strategies to realize it as promotes holistic learning and adaptability to guide us forward.  Engage.  Explore.  Energize.
