It’s a touchy subject—right up there with politics and religion. But obesity reaches high enough numbers and dollars that it can’t be quietly swept under the rug. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 34 percent of U.S. adults aged 20 and older are obese, a looming figure that’s more than doubled since the late 1970s.1 The figure has recently settled after a quarter-century of steady growth, leaving the majority of U.S. adults—approximately 66 percent—overweight or obese, with health care costs continuing to rise with no end in sight.2

It added a slice of humor to Cherie Jones’ day when a co-worker spilled an entire Big Gulp on her keyboard. “I was totally laughing,” she recalls. Her co-worker wasn’t. Jones, a 2001 MAcc graduate and business tax auditor for Loudon County, Virginia, says her colleague panicked as she searched for napkins to salvage the keyboard. Big Gulp or deli sandwich, Jones’ co-worker isn’t the only one whose workstation doubles as an eatery.

Standing in front of eight corporate leaders worth billions of dollars and presenting them with a new business venture is the epitome of applied classroom learning.
At all levels of government, we need more men and women who are willing to speak the truth, face the facts, take a long-term perspective, and prepare our country and its citizens. Many of these challenges are unprecedented in size, scope, complexity, and potential impact.
David Truscott is a do-it-yourself kind of guy. The Washington state native builds his own furniture, does his own home remodeling, and handcrafts violins that fetch upward of $3,000 apiece. What’s more, the violin maker and auditor recently developed an international supply chain that is expected to boost instrument production to nearly $250,000 this year. Not bad for a twenty-four-year-old.

You pull up to seven Gs in a bobsled seven times earth's gravitational pull. It's tough sledding. Fraser Bullock knows that from his experience on the bobsled track at Utah's Olympic Park. He had just signed on as CFO and COO of the Salt Lake Olympic Committee and wanted to understand what it was like to be an Olympic athlete. "I looked in the sled and there were chains, apparently to keep people from climbing out halfway down," he laughs. Bullock quickly discovered why someone might want to climb out. "It was like a monster roller coaster ride times ten," he continues. "And when you get to the bottom, you realize that the difference between gold and silver is one one-hundredth of a second. The expertise of these athletes is mind boggling."
You are a very select group whose contributions in the years ahead will be monumental. I know many of those who will be your teachers and your mentors. You are not likely to understand tonight what a rare group they are.
It's an honor for me to be here today. Every time I get in an awesome situation like this I think of a story that took place several years ago when my family and I lived on the west coast. Our oldest boys, who were seven and eight at the time, decided to take a friend to church with them one Sunday. This young boy had never been to our Church before.
