Nick Elam, educator and inventor of what is known as the Elam Ending in basketball, will speak at Wichita State University. The event is free and open to the public.
The Elam Ending has gained acclaim as an exciting format to end basketball games, and it is currently employed by TBT: The Basketball Tournament, including at TBT regional being played in Wichita. The story of the Elam Ending is about more than basketball and statistics. It's about persistence and positive thinking. Elam’s speech will explore the personal side of a 15-year (and counting) journey to bring a vision to life on the court. The speech will have takeaways for an audience of future leaders, innovators and risk-takers.
Elam’s presentation is the first WSU’s College of Applied Studies’ Corbin Connect speaker series, presented by Credit Union of America.
