Nothing great happens without passion and hard work.

That’s the message Jim Kavanaugh shared in an article entitled Sports For Life, in the spring edition of St. Louis University Business School magazine, Shareholder.

Jim was one of the executives highlighted in the story, which expressed the tremendous influence the experience of competing in SLU athletics has had on the lives of four John Cook School of Business graduates.

 In the case of Kavanaugh (BS ’86), his ability to focus a tenacious work ethic on outhustling the competition in the ultra-competitive technology industry has fueled the growth of World Wide Technology, at which Kavanaugh serves as CEO.

American Red Cross & Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami

I thought I’d add a small voice to a very large call for help.   It’s incomprehensible for me to consider how people’s lives have changed so dramatically in the earthquake and tsunami stricken region of Japan.   And if that isn’t bad enough, the grave concern over the safety of the nuclear reactors.

Americans are the most generous people in the world and I’m sure they won’t let our Japanese friends down.  Please donate and, if you’re not able to do that, keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
