ABS Notebooks was started in 2006 by two students who were determined to do
their part in giving back to college students on campuses across
America. They made it their mission to provide everyone with a free
notebook that is informative, practical, and saves them money. Why? To
make their lives a little bit easier.
The ABS notebook is a multi-subject spiral notebook customized for
every participating college and designed to last an entire semester.
Each notebook begins with eight pages of useful campus information
(maps, important dates, events, department contacts, important
resources, or anything the school wants to include), and continues
with 64 pages per section of high quality note-taking pages.
The result is students who are excited and exceptionally grateful to
their college for providing them with a notebook that is functional,
valuable, and free.
Come learn more about this exciting initiative that is now in the
hands of over ONE MILLION students on campuses around the country.

Duane Zobrist leads a unique life. In 1992, he decided to follow one of life’s serendipitous detours. Just weeks before beginning law school, he decided to change paths and, much to the surprise of those around him, pursue his passion—Falconry. Since founding The Falconry and Raptor Education Foundation in 1994, he has been involved in the start-up of several successful, and a few unsuccessful, entrepreneurial ventures. He is an adventurer, facilitator, team-building coach, and motivational speaker.
Duane’s passion for business and life is evident. He believes that if one seeks a balanced life and is committed to enjoying life’s journey, one will attract success in all aspects of life. Duane has often said, “Living a balanced life takes leadership. It takes an individual who knows where they are going, who they want to take with them, and why they want to be there.”
Energetic, insightful and memorable are words many attendees use to describe Duane and his presentation style. He masterfully weaves both contemporary and historical tales into his presentations, reinforcing his topic’s salient points. One thing is for sure, no boring presentations here.
