His workshop is entitled, “Give and Grow Rich: Success Strategies for Leaders” and is designed to help students get more out of their organizations by giving more through service projects. At the age of 24, Martin became the youngest faculty member ever hired to teach at a state university in the state of Florida. He also has the honor of being the youngest professor at his institution to be nominated twice for the Distinguished Teacher’s Award. Martin has addressed more than 450 organizations, associations, businesses, colleges and universities, helping hundreds of thousands of students and staff members across the country achieve more and maximize their leadership potential. In 1999, the Association for the Promotion of Campus Activities selected Joe as its national College Speaker of the Year. And in 2003, Campus Activities Magazine nominated him as Speaker of the Year. “Employers are looking for students with a lot of leadership experience,” said David Duvall, assistant director of Student Development. “Students can gain that experience through involvement in student organizations, and enhance that experience by attending the leadership conferences we offer through the year, including the student leadership conference in the fall and Leadership USI in the spring."
