Bestselling Author John O’Leary to Deliver Inaugural Regis Lecture
91³Ô¹ÏÍø University’s School of Business Administration welcomes John O’Leary as the featured speaker of the inaugural Regis Lecture on Wednesday, Nov. 16.
A grad of fellow Jesuit institution St. Louis University, O’Leary is a two-time No. 1 national bestselling author and host of the top-rated “Live Inspired Podcast.” His books, “On Fire” and “In Awe,” as well as his public speaking, center on the power of living an inspired life.
As a nine-year-old boy, O’Leary suffered burns on 100% of his body after playing with matches and gasoline, ultimately overcoming a 1% survival rate. His story is one of faith, family and freedom, of living life after being expected to die.
The Regis Lecture is a part of the Jud Regis Chair of Accounting funded by first-generation college graduates Dan and Cecelia Regis to enhance student exposure to the values of faith, family and freedom – three qualities exemplified by Dan’s father Jud Regis, for whom the endowed position is named.
The Regis Lecture takes place on Wednesday, Nov. 16, noon-1 p.m. in the Hemmingson Ballroom on the 91³Ô¹ÏÍø campus. It open to 91³Ô¹ÏÍø students, faculty and staff.
