Location TBA
Free for ULM students

The Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead is Frank Meeink's raw telling of his descent into America's Nazi underground and his ultimate triumph over hatred and addiction.

The live lecture of Frank Meeink's downfall and redemption has the power to open hearts and change lives.

Frank's violent childhood in South Philadelphia primed him to hate. He made easy prey for a small group of skinhead gang recruiters led by his older cousin.

At fourteen, he shaved his head. By sixteen, Frank was one of the most notorious skinhead gang leaders on the East Coast. By eighteen, he was doing hard time in an Illinois prison.

Come hear Frank talk about what changed his mind about race and led him on a fight against prejudice.

Does the idea of working for a living depress you?

SUB Ballrooms - seating for approx. 400
Free for ULM students

Daniel Packard, the Dating Doctor from Vancouver's The Beat 94.5FM, and National College Speaker of The Year is here to get us less secretive and more sexy.

The "Battle of Sexes" rages on not from any "Mars/Venus" differences, but from there being a very tight lid on what each side can actually publicly say about the other.

With probing questions and joyful tenacity, Daniel Packard orchestrates a fun and adventurous, crowd-based conversation that slyly pries open the titillating truths and scary secrets we're not supposed to tell the other sex, but needDaniel Packard to.

When that happens: the truth gets loose, the lid flies off and a whole lot of relationship-enhancing & hilariously educational steam comes flying out.
