Harding University continues its American Studies Institute
Distinguished Lecture Series with athlete Jeff Glasbrenner on Tuesday,
Sept. 17. Students, community members, faculty and staff are invited
to attend the lecture at 7:30 p.m. in Benson Auditorium, located at
201 S. Blakeney in Searcy, Ark. Glasbrenner’s lecture “A Bad Day, Hope
and Opportunity” will discuss the intersection of difficulty and faith
as well as his background as a three-time paralympian and accomplished
Ironman athlete. He is the first American amputee to summit Mt.
Everest, an achievement that showcases how he found opportunity even
in the face of adversity. Among his resume of illustrious
achievements, Glasbrenner is also a two-time world champion and
four-time national champion in wheelchair basketball.
