Recount a personal act of kindness you have completed that was inspired by Garry's influence
Garry, I hope you had a wonderful birthday and that you have many more. Your relentlessly positive approach never fails to amaze me. No matter how good I’m feeling about things at any given moment, I bump into you or see you at an event and think, “I wish I could always feel that good about things!”
Long ago, when I hadn’t been at Full Sail that long, you called me to your office to meet with several students about some concerns they had in my class. To be honest, at the time I thought it was pretty silly that students would get an audience with the President over some disgruntlement and that I’d end up on the wrong side…
Happy Belated Birthday Garry!
If I had to use one word to describe you Garry and be accurate, I would have to break the rule:
Garry is a compelling, straight-shootin', kind, empathetic, problem-solving, effective gentleman. I could go on. Okay I will...
I've got it - one word: Groovy!
You have always been there and given so much to our mission.
Garry has truly been an inspiration for me from how he communicates with others with focus, intent, and empathy. He is a living example of caring for others.
I was hired in 1998 - by Isis - and was like most people amazed by the energy at Full Sail. A positivism that was most welcome to my situation.…
Happy Birthday Garry
