TAS parents are invited to attend a presentation by renowned character education speaker and author, Dr. Hal Urban, on Monday, January 20, from 8:15-9:30AM in the Small Theater. While at TAS, Dr. Urban will also lead a professional development workshop for faculty and meet with student representatives from the Upper School Honor Council.
Dr. Urban is the author of six books, including Life’s Greatest Lessons, which was chosen as the Inspirational Book of the Year by Writer’s Digest. He has traveled extensively throughout the world to speak about positive character traits and their relationship to quality of life. In 2005, Dr. Urban was awarded the Sanford N. McDonnell Lifetime Achievement Award at the Character Education Partnership National Forum.
Dr. Urban’s teaching, writing, and speaking is about what he calls “old-fashioned goodness – wisdom and virtues that have been around for thousands of years.” At the parent presentation, he will talk about positive attitude, respect and kindness, hard work, honesty and integrity, thankfulness, humor and laughter, life-long learning, and service to others.
Dr. Urban’s visit is made possible by gifts to the Friends of TAS.
