During his time as President of Drury University, Todd Parnell has taken pies in the face and comically tipped his canoe over in a fountain for a fundraising video. “I’ve never been afraid to laugh at myself. It generally results in fun!” Parnell said.
On July 8, to celebrate his 65th birthday, Parnell took a risk that had consequences far beyond getting laughed at. “I’d always wanted to go skydiving, but I’m afraid of heights. I’d just never worked up the nerve,” he said. “Then Charles Taylor (vice president of academic affairs) went skydiving with his parents for their 63rd anniversary. It piqued my interest again.” Continue reading
