CHAPEL HILL
At 28, Houston Summers can count more life-changing experiences than many people twice his age.
There’s the time, at age 13, when his utter weakness after brain surgery taught him about the frailty of human life. Just a few years later, there was the moment he heard his own name called out in the major league baseball draft.
Summers counts his time as student body president at UNC-Chapel Hill – which ends Sunday with his graduation – as yet another life-changing experience, teaching him serious lessons about the nature of leadership and grace under pressure.
