Greg? How? No... Greg Jao!

That's right, we convinced Greg Jao to come to RPI to speak. Many of you already know Greg Jao, so you'll look forward to his coming to RPI as much as I am. Greg Jao (pronounced "how") is the regional director of Intervarsity in New York and New Jersey. He attends the retreats we go on, like the Expedition and Basileia, and even Urbana, where he was the MC.

Greg is a very skillful speaker. He is humorous, although I won't hold that against him. He's great at engaging a crowd and getting them to think. He understands people well, even people at RPI, although he always marvels at the way we are.

He's also careful when he speaks. He chooses his words well and can address important issues without offending. We spoke with him when exec was debating whether to focus on spiritual development, or reaching out to the campus with large groups. He doesn't argue, he invites thinking and discussion.

If you want to see him speaking, he's on YouTube, and if you want to be his friend, he's on facebook. And If you want to hear him in person, he'll be at RPI on Monday, October 15th, and possibly hanging around at other times.
