Disc Golf

As the new school year starts, ICC students will be taking to the new disc golf course on campus. The nine pin course was built last Spring by engineering students Steve Carlson and Tim Cameron. Steve is now a junior at the University of Minnesota and Tim is starting at St. Thomas. They designed the pins, pitched the idea to the college administration, raised the funds, bought the materials, built the pins, designed the course and put the course in place. Pretty cool.

More cool are the reasons they did it. While Tim and Steve, who are graduates of Forest Lake High School, were first year students at ICC, they had a friend from back home who died. They wanted to do something in their friend's memory. Secondly, they wanted to do something for the college community in repayment for the education and experience they got at ICC.

I am impressed by these two engineering students. How many times in our lives have we acted on similar impulses? Doing something for these reasons is the right thing to do.

TBL: Take page out of Tim and Steves' book, take the opportunity to make a difference when you can.
