This presentation will focus on Veninga’s ground-breaking research on what keeps people resilient in difficult times.

Which Wolf are You Feeding?
Lessons on Fear, Folly and Faith
It’s easy to be upbeat when the wind is at your back. But what do you do when you flunk an exam, lose the big game or feel alone? Based upon his work with students at the University of Minnesota, Veninga will provide heart-felt knowledge about the miracle of “hope” in human life.
