Bryant Larsen introduced the speaker Dr. Alaina Fong, of Utah Valley Regional Medical Center’s Neuro-Psychology department who spoke about the effects of brain concussions which result in hormonal metabolism changes in the brain. Many go undiagnosed. Some with this type of head trauma never lose consciousness. 97% recover on their own without intervention. For the others UVRMC offers a concussion management program. If you ever have head trauma, report to the ER immediately if you experience:

dizziness
“foggy” thinking
vomiting
nausea
sensory loss
fatigue
headaches
slow thinking
memory loss

Our speaker this week was Sven Wilson, professor and chair of the Political Science Department at BYU.  Sven is also the visionary and founder of the Character First movement as highlighted on the Doug Wright show on KSL radio . For this week's meeting,  Sven focused his thoughts on rejecting the populist movement circulating in today's politics and spoke about the necessity of a strong leader who shows compassion and isn't afraid to admit when he or she is wrong. Just another way to keep politics civil and promote goodwill in all aspects of life.
