Prominent national speaker and author Wes Moore will open the 2015 D.B. Reinhart Institute for Ethics in Leadership’s fall lecture series with his presentation “The Work: The Quest for Our Work that Matters” at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 22 in the Fine Arts Center Main Theatre.

Moore is the author of the acclaimed best-selling books The Work: My Search for a Life That Matters and The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates. His presentation will explore the quest for purpose through nine lives and examine how people can find a sense of completion in unique and unforgettable ways. By looking at the unsung heroes who live among us, we can better understand how each of us has the power to change the world.

“Wes Moore highlights the significance of serving others as the key to a meaningful life,” said Rick Kyte, ethics. “In today’s world of rapid change and social disruption, his message is especially important and timely.”

A very successful and sought-after speaker, Moore engages audiences with his infectious zest for life. He has the rare ability to both inspire and captivate. He has been featured in USA Today, Time, and People, and on Meet the Press, The Colbert Report, MSNBC, NPR and many other media outlets. Moore is also the host of PBS’s Coming Back with Wes Moore, which focuses on the re-integration of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans and their return home.
