Motivational speaker, Brent Scarpo, will be speaking at Washburn 7 p.m. April 9 in the Washburn Room.
Scarpo's presentation, "Journey to a Hate Free Millennium," is part of a diversity program which features the multiple award-winning documentary film which he directed and produced. The film centers around real life hate crimes such as the beating death of Matthew Shepard, a gay college student in Wyoming , the Columbine high school shootings in Littleton, Colo., and Fred Phillips. Scarpo will be discussing ways to seek soloutions to ending hate and the hate crimes happening in this nation.
Scarpo donates a journey educational kit to each school he presents at. The kit includes an educational guide and the documentary film.
Representatives from Washburn attended the national NACA where Scarpo was part of the educational showcases. Billy Jean Burgman, executive director of Campus Activity Board said that they felt Scarpo's presentation would be a great way to impact students lives and for students to take action steps to prevent it.
The event is sponsored by the Campus Activity Board and Multicultural Affairs. The event is free and open to the public.
