HAYS, Kan. -- Best-selling author Steve Gilliland will speak on the Fort Hays State University campus at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 1, in Beach/Schmidt Performing Arts Center.

Gilliland's talk, "Enjoy the Ride," is designed to allow people to examine where they are in their lives, both personally and professionally. The aim is to lift people up and inspire them to evolve and appreciate life, rather than simply maintain and exist.

Recognized as a master storyteller and brilliant comedian, Gilliland speaks to more than 25,000 people each year, as well as reaching people through his books, CDs and DVDs.

This event, which is free and open to the public, is sponsored by FHSU entities the Society for Human Resource Management's student chapter, the Center for Student Involvement, the Department of Leadership Studies, the Management Development Center, and by the Western Kansas Human Resource Management Association and the Hays Area Chamber of Commerce.
