Shaun Tomson and the cover of his book, The Code.

Save the date: Public affairs convocation set for April 6

Shaun Tomson will discuss the “The Code – The Power of ‘I Will.’

February 8, 2022 by Public Affairs

Mark your calendar for author Shanun Tomson’s presentation set for 3:30 p.m. on April 6 in the Plaster Student Union Theater, Missouri State University.  A book signing is scheduled to follow.

Shaun will share his life experiences in and out of the surfing world and offer how the simple message―I Will― can be a model to face life’s challenges and help you achieve your goals.  Be inspired and write your own 12-line I Will code.

Receive a complimentary copy of the book

“Writing your 12-line code is a powerful motivator and life guide and we hope you will be inspired through his presentation,” said Dr. Keri Franklin, associate provost for public affairs and assessment. “For this year’s common read, the goal will be that students, faculty, staff, and the community find inspiration, aspiration, and an action plan through Shaun’s powerful story.”

This is a free event and open to the campus and the Springfield and surrounding communities.  Registration is not required and seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
