Nouveau Vie {visit site}
"Eating Disorders are rampant and harmful on today's campuses and in society at large. A new treatment facility in Nevada has programs that will help young men and women begin to heal and find self esteem and wellness in their lives. The center is called Nouveau Vie, or new life, and merits the attention of educators, parents, and young people who wrestle with this disease."
Will Keim, Ph.D.
"Although I've lived a seemingly short 16 years, I have experiences and hardships to last me a lifetime. My name is Alexis, and I have been battling a demon called anorexia nervosa since the age of 10. While most spend their adolescence celebrating with friends and exploring the wonders that life has to offer, I have been a prisoner in my mind, held captive by my own self-hatred. Hospital stays, crying, and a feeling of general darkness are the memories that will be forever etched in my mind, in place of what should have been the best years of my life. However, with much prayer and hard work, as well as effective treatment, I have been able to fight this disease, and am proud and thankful to say that I am in recovery now. Words can not explain the torturous struggle and the pain that accompany any eating disorder, but I am grateful to Mr. Will Keim for giving me the opportunity to educate more people and perhaps provide some understanding of the emotional and physical toll through this powerpoint."

Mark Hartley {visit site}
"I have known Mark Hartley since he was an undergraduate. He is now a Student Affairs professional, author, a husband, and a father. He is the most accomplished young speaker in the country. He lives out in his life what he teaches students from the podium. He is a man of integrity, great character, and someone who can not only educate a audience but make them think, laugh, and see the potential in their lives. He has my total and dedicated recommendation."
Will Keim, Ph.D.
Dan Hurley
American Assn. of State Colleges, State Relations Director
"Learn more about the state of public higher education, the stimulus package, and its impact on students in a conversation on C-Span with Dr. Dan Hurley, a colleague and friend of Dr. Will Keim. Dan is a very bright and dedicated educator who works with America's State College Presidents in Washington, D.C. Dr. Keim worked with Dr. Hurley at Ferris State in Michigan and Utah Valley University in Utah before Dan went to Washington, D.C. to be involved at the national level."
Harding Wilson {visit site}
Harding Wilson is an entrepreneurial venture of wonderful young men to bring back class in bow tie wear. They use only Pendleton Wool, sew the ties themselves, and are doing something exciting. Check out their website! Peter Lee, one of the founders, is one of my favorite former students, now friends. While in high school, he played defensive back in football and I called him, "The most exciting 150 pounds in sports." Peter and his friends are working hard and I support them. Watch for me sporting a bow tie soon. I purchased my first one and it looks great! They come with instructions that make tying them a breeze!
