Nearly 5,000 people packed
CMU���s McGuirk Arena in
late January to hear Gen.
Colin Powell illustrate what
it takes to be a leader.
The retired four-star Army
general who also served
as U.S. Secretary of State
under George W. Bush was
the keynote speaker for
CMU���s Martin Luther King
Jr. Week celebration.
Powell engaged audience
members with stories of
his lifetime experiences,
motivating them to take
charge and make a di���erence.
���There���s no Superman.
There���s super people like us
who decide what we want
our government to do,���
Powell said. ���Start talking.���
