LOLO JONES Four-time World Champion Three-time Olympian

EBOO PATEL Founder and President, Interfaith America

Akirah Bradley-Armstrong and Anna Gonzalez will offer closing remarks for the 2025 NASPA Annual Conference and welcome Eboo Patel, Founder and President of Interfaith America, as the closing keynote speaker. Following the keynote, Michael Christakis, NASPA Board Chair 2025–2026 and José-Luis Riera, 2026 NASPA Annual Conference Chair, will conclude the 2025 NASPA Annual Conference. Eboo Patel is a civic leader who believes that religious diversity is an essential and inspiring dimension of American democracy. Named “one of America’s best leaders” by U.S. News and World Report, Eboo is Founder and President of Interfaith America, the leading interfaith organization in the United States. Under his leadership, Interfaith America has worked with governments, universities, private companies, and civic organizations to make faith a bridge of cooperation rather than a barrier of division. Eboo served on President Obama’s Inaugural Faith Council, has given hundreds of keynote addresses, and has written five books, including We Need to Build: Field Notes for Diverse Democracy. He is an Ashoka Fellow and holds a doctorate in the sociology of religion from Oxford University, where he studied on a Rhodes scholarship. Eboo lives in Chicago with his wife, Shehnaz, and their two sons.

For Lolo Jones, choosing a career was always easy. After overcoming adversity and dodging obstacles her entire life, it only made sense that the former LSU star would decide to leap hurdles as her profession. She was the first woman ever to claim back-to-back World Indoor titles in the 60m hurdles while setting an American record in the process. Jones finished her career at LSU as a three-time national champion and 11-time All- American, where she ranks among the top-three all-time at LSU in both the 60m and 100m hurdles. Following the 2012 Olympics, Jones tried out and made the USA Bobsled team as a push athlete. Jones also competed in the bobsled at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. The Lolo Jones story is far from over, but it holds a recurring theme. Her life, like many others, has been a series of obstacles in a winding path of success. Whether she faced them as a young talent growing up in Iowa, or whether she shares it with her 30,000 Twitter followers, the message remains the same.Sometimes life puts adversity in your way. Lolo’s advice to us all is just to “hurdle” over it. Lolo Jones’s appearance arranged through Gotham Artists.
