The positive impact of an every|day hero

Each day, we hope for a safe, fulfilling and enriching environment for students on college campuses. And everyday, students face situations—some big, some small—that present them with the opportunity to impact their campus in a positive way. But do they possess the confidence and courage to intervene in a problem situation?

Through his keynote, RESPONSE ABILITY: Being an Every|Day Hero, Mike is equipping students across the country to combat bystander behavior, and to become the every|day hero for themselves, those around them and their community as a whole.

And we can’t be more proud.

Each semester, the testimonials, tweets, emails and phone calls pour in with praise and thank you’s for Mike and his message. To hear how Mike is challenging the campus climate and getting students to act based on their values is a powerful thing, and we wanted to share with you the feedback he’s received in hopes of sparking the power within you to always remember how easy and safe it is to act whenever you witness harmful behavior.
