Devan Dannelly is a student at Eastern Kentucky University. Last week, he challenged his university president to come shovel his driveway.
Yo @EKUPrez come shovel my driveway/road and I'll come to class tomorrow... deal???
And then, lo and behold...
@DADannelly11 it's a deal. What's your address?
@DADannelly11 on my way!!
Shit got real, real fast.
Guys President Benson is literally at my house right now.... Idk what to do
A deal is a deal. Before & after at the driveway of @DADannelly11 Expect to see you in class tomorrow!

I will be in my office on campus tomorrow so @DADannelly11 can come by for a visit anytime if you are out and about #adealisadeal #GoBigE
Benson even took a photo with Dannelly's mom and this very impressed looking dog.
Mom just sent me this
I will literally never complain about going to class again.
Then Dannelly held up his end of the bargain, even though no one else did.
No class this week, but I held up my end of the deal anyways! @EKUPrez
The two even took a selfie together.
Neither sleet nor snow nor freezing temps will keep @DADannelly11 from coming to campus. Thx for the visit Devan #EKU
But it didn't end there. Benson's courageous act of shoveling inspired other members of the community!
Just following @EKUPrez's lead and shoveling snow for others. @keno_glenn
Huge shout out to @EKUFootball & @KDDeltaOmicron for pitching in, shoveling walks, and digging out cars. @EKUStories
Winter bringing out the best in people.
Believe me..our crews are trying to stay ahead of it. Haven't had a storm like this since '96. @EKUVPFA
