presentation, 7 p.m., Academic Hall Auditorium Marc Elliot recently graduated from Washington University in St. Louis. His college experience resembled that of many others: he participated actively in his fraternity, played intramural sports, studied abroad and completed the pre-med requirements. None of those things was particularly extraordinary except that he did them with Tourettes syndrome and only four feet of intestines. In dealing with his personal challenges, Marc gained uncommon insight into the power of persever ance, as well as the importance of understanding other people’s differences. In addition, he learned the value of humor and its necessity in our daily lives. These insights have given him an incredible opportunity to inspire and teach his peers and adults alike. Free and open to the public. Sponsored by the Student Activities Council.
