Session Type: Breakout Session
Delivery Format: Presentation/Panel Session

We all know that the EDUCAUSE motto is “uncommon thinking for the common good.” But did you know that a portion of that uncommon thinking can only come from you? Your individual contributions to the community are needed for the common good, and every one of us can (and should) play a role. Come hear how Community Leadership award winner David Sherry views the value of contributing to the community and paying it forward, and the importance of “fixing your own mask first” to make an impact.

Session presenter David Sherry is the recipient of the 2025 EDUCAUSE Community Leadership Award.

Award sponsored by Moran Technology Consulting, Mission Partner.
