In my second year here as a Dunn Sports and Wellness Scholar, I was again reminded how this program lives out the legacy of its founder, Mike Dunn. Though I never met this man, I feel like I have. As DSWS members, we often hear his lessons carried on through people who knew Mr. Dunn. One of the biggest takeaway points from these lectures is his idea of “living your dash,” or making the most of all of the moments between your birth year and your last year on this earth. This program lives out this idea by exposing its members to a plethora or fun, lively and enriching activities. These activities won’t boost your GPA or make you any more money once you’ve completed them, but they will provide you with memories that, when you sense your dash is nearly through, will mean more to you than any transcript could. An example of one such activity this year was the second-years’ trip to Hocking Hills. We stayed in a beautiful log cabin, and though the trip was only a day and a half, it felt like a week (in the best way possible). We knew that our time together as scholars in the program was coming to an end, and that brought us closer than ever. We may not have gotten too much sleep that weekend, but we got to know each other even better and all in all had a blast. Mike Dunn would be proud to know that we were living our dash to the fullest that weekend. This is just one of many examples of the DSWS program focusing on fully living out that proverbial dash.
