WHAT'S ON YOUR FUN LIST?

By Kevin Mould (RPTA '14), Staff Writer

The wonderfully inspiring story of Jodi Fisher, detailed earlier in this edition of "The Report," has touched many people around the world. Count Dr. Jeff Jacobs and his RPTA 205 Leadership course among those inpired by Jodi and her influence.

After Jacobs shared Jodi's story with his RPTA 205 class, and when they learned that she had passed away, they were so deeply moved that they banded together to join in the effort by generating the "What's On Your Fun List?" campaign.

RPTA student Kayla Weaver ('13), who was in Jacob's class and helped to lead the project, noted that they saw a window of opportunity in the Cal Poly student population. A new t-shirt design was created that would appeal to the college age group in order to bolster sales and raise even more money for the family.

In addition to selling shirts, however, the ultimate goal was to help spread Fisher's message. Weaver said, "I think that the question ('What's on your fun list?') and the underlying message are good ones for people our age, because we have so many opportunities presented to us and so many different directions we can go in." In this spirit, then, let us live our lives to the fullest and soak in even the little things, because Jodi Fisher would have wanted nothing less.
