One word. That's all we're asking.

When you think of President Carter, what's the first word that comes to mind?

On what would have been the former president’s 102nd birthday, we put this question to Carter Center staff. Watch our video to hear what they said, then tell us yours in the comments below.

Dedication. His lifetime of service inspired my journey—from a student intern at @thecartercenter in 1999 to now serving the @hansestadt_buxtehude in Germany as a city council member. Thank you for your leadership and legacy, President Carter!

Inspiring. He and Rosalynn were some of my earliest and most influential role models in global health. They were also a big part of the Gates Foundations’ early days, and I'll never forget that—or them.
