Motivational speaker Noah Galloway to appear at Penn State Beaver, Shenango

United States Army veteran and "Dancing with the Stars" alum Noah Galloway will speak at the Penn State Beaver and Penn State Shenango campuses.

The campuses and local communities are invited to attend his talk about resilience, leadership and personal accountability at 7 p.m. March 18 in the Penn State Beaver Auditorium and at 7 p.m. March 19 in the Penn State Shenango Auditorium. Both events are free.

Galloway became a double amputee in 2005 after an IED attack during Operation Iraqi Freedom. He lost his left leg above the knee and his left arm above the elbow.

Following his injuries, he focused on fitness, becoming the first veteran and amputee to be featured on the cover of Men's Health magazine. He was a finalist on Season 20 of the ABC show "Dancing with the Stars" and won the debut season of FOX's "American Grit."

Galloway also established the No Excuses Charitable Fund, which raises money and awareness for organizations that support causes that are important to Galloway.

This event is made possible by the Greenberger Family Memorial Lecture Fund, which was established in 1997 in memory of Paul Greenberger, a student at Penn State Shenango. The purpose of the fund is to support lectures by outstanding individuals in all fields to present information at the Penn State Shenango campus. The family indicated it is pleased the fund can support Galloway's visit to both the Shenango and Beaver campuses.
