Read more about how the combination of an athletic injury and an inspirational guest speaker helped Jeremiah find purpose at #MU and provided opportunities to build the leadership skills that will help him succeed after graduation 🎓: tinyurl.com/JSansbury-BHM-…

Jeremiah focuses less on the titles that come with leadership and more on people, ensuring everyone feels valued and treating every person with the same level of respect. He relies on one of his core beliefs: “It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice.”

After an injury shifted his focus from the football field, Jeremiah Sansbury expanded his involvement at #MethodistUniversity into student government, athletics, Greek life, and the Monarch Student Marketing Agency, embracing his natural leadership potential at every opportunity.
