You are called upon to serve where you are. No matter what your circumstances are, God has given you the gifts that you have the responsibility to use in the service of the people around you. Eric Wood\\xa0lives by this principle everyday as someone who does helping people as his profession. Eric is the first African-American VP of Louisiana Tech, as well as the first Athletic Director to take in that same role. For 22 years, Eric has devoted his heart to serving other people, especially his students and the people he works with. In this interview with Thane Marcus Ringler, we will learn how Eric\\u2019s experience as a poor multiracial kid from the Bronx raised by a single mother shaped the way he looks at the world, his relationship with faith and his fight against inequality. Listen in for some of Eric\\u2019s powerful stories that teach us a lot on what a life of passion and compassion looks like.
