S8 E1: Leading with Passion, Pat Schoenen ’70

We are so excited to be bringing you Season 8 of Houndcast! For our first episode back, Dylan Star and Owen Levan-Uhler ’26 sat down with Pat Schoenen ’70. Pat is this year's recipient of the Medallion of Merit for this year's Shining Lights Awards. This season we wanted to focus on the idea of success, and what that means to each of the wonderful guests we bring onto the show. For Pat, success is finding something you're passionate about, and finding satisfaction in being a vital part of your community. "Come as a tourist, leave as an ambassador."

This year's Shining Lights awards are on Friday, April 19th at 6 PM in the Sally Breidegam Miksiewicz Center for Health Sciences (or the Sally for short). More information about the event can be found here. The registration page for the event will be live in the near-future, so keep on the lookout!
