Dorenbos will be keynote speaker at UC’s Excellence in Leadership Series March 26

Do you believe in magic? You might after seeing Jon Dorenbos. His mind-bending magic tricks coupled with his inspiring life story have riveted audiences around the globe.

Dorenbos will be the keynote speaker for this year’s University of the Cumberlands’ Excellence in Leadership Series, which is sponsored by The Forcht Group of Kentucky.

The event will be held on Cumberlands’ campus on Tuesday, March 26, at 7 p.m. in the O. Wayne Rollins Center. All are welcome to attend.

Tickets are free but offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Starting Feb. 27, community members may reserve tickets at https://webservices.ucumberlands.edu/tickets/.

“We look forward to welcoming Jon Dorenbos onto campus and enjoying not only his on-stage performance, but also the impactful message he brings,” said Dr. Larry L. Cockrum, president of University of the Cumberlands. “His humor, enthusiasm, and hard-earned optimistic approach to life are sure to leave the audience feeling encouraged, reflective, and motivated to pursue an abundant life.”

As a former long snapper in the National Football League, plus a finalist on America’s Got Talent and America’s Got Talent: The Champions, Dorenbos doesn’t shy away from high-pressure situations; he thrives in them. His life growing up – especially during his teenage years – was no picnic, but the lessons he learned through the process shaped his mentality, giving him not only the perseverance to achieve success in his own life but also the ability to uniquely relate to and motivate people across the U.S. and around the world, according to a UC release.

Dorenbos’ goal is to inspire, entertain, and impact anyone and everyone he interacts with. As he integrates his powerful personal story with transformative life lessons, throwing in jokes and impressive card tricks for good measure, his performance offers a memorable experience that’ll last a lifetime.

Keynote speakers are invited to Cumberlands’ campus annually, offering impactful messages to Cumberlands students and the general community as a way to instill integral leadership values.

UC’s annual lecture series is made possible by an endowment from local business owners Dr. Terry and Mrs. Marion Forcht, who founded The Forcht Group of Kentucky Center for Excellence in Leadership in 2006.

The purpose of the Center is to provide programs and activities that enhance the development of leadership, character and good citizenship. Other past speakers in the series have included Roy Moore, Zell Miller, Stephen Covey, Ben Stein, Karl Rove, Mike Huckabee, Rudy Giuliani, Charles Krauthammer, Dr. Ben Carson, Fred Thompson, Dr. William “Will” Franklin Graham IV (the grandson of world-renowned evangelist Billy Graham), Shaquille O’Neal, Terry Bradshaw, Laila Ali, Drew Brees and Mel Robbins.
