Grand Ballroom, Adele H. Stamp Student Union
Student Entertainment Events (SEE) presents an evening with RJ Mitte, who will be giving a lecture entitled "Overcoming Adversity: Turning a Disadvantage to an Advantage". RJ Mitte will speak about raising awareness about disabilities, equality, and bullying. After his lecture, students will have the opportunity to ask questions during a Q&A session.
RJ Mitte co-starred on the Emmy-winning AMC drama, Breaking Bad, as the son of the cancer-stricken high school science teacher turned drug manufacturer played by Bryan Cranston. Just as his character on the show, Walter White Jr., has cerebral palsy, so does Mitte. In 2014 Mitte will begin a recurring role on the Peabody Award-winning ABC Family drama, Switched at Birth, playing Campbell, a pre-med college student paralyzed by a snowboarding accident who works at the free clinic.
This is a free event, and there will be a general audience meet and greet after the event! For more information about the event, please click here. This event is sponsored by Student Entertainment Events, with co-sponsorship from the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, the Alpha Rho Chapter of Alpha Chi Sigma Fraternity, and University Honors (as part of the What Is Your Dream? programming series).
