Story 75 - Celebrating 75 Years!

NHRI Leadership Mentoring is celebrating its 75th Anniversary! Our founders, Dr. William Hall and Dr. Don Clifton began a ripple effect that would go on to change the lives of countless people. It is impossible to capture the full impact they have made, but we will try through a series of stories and celebrations to mark this important milestone in our program’s history.

Follow along as we share 75 stories of our history on www.75yearsnhri.com and on our social media. We know you will enjoy a walk down memory lane and feel inspired by the next generation of NHRI student leaders. We invite you, our fellow alumni, current mentors, families and friends to join us in celebrating this milestone this fall.
