Mark Sterner helps students realize the choice they make to drink and drive can have a lasting impact on their friends, families and themselves. Just three months before graduation, Mark and four of his best friends headed to Spring Break. On the final night they decided the least drunk would drive home. The next morning, three of the men were dead, and Mark lay in the hospital critically injured and facing three felony counts of DUI manslaughter. Instead of being the first in his family to graduate from college, Mark ended up the first member of his family to go to prison for his role in the tragic death of his three friends.

Iowa State personnel will be available to offer risk-management resources and services specific to this campus following the talk.

Mark Sterner has been a keynote presenter for the Northeastern Greek Leadership Association, Association of Fraternal Leadership & Values-Central, Association of Fraternal Leadership & Values-West, CHAMPS Life Skills, the BACCHUS and GAMMA Peer Education Network’s General Assembly and the Mid-American Collegiate Health Association’s conference. He received the Tau Kappa Epsilon Excellence in Education Alumni Award at the 2011 Conclave.
