I read the Daily Bruin today and came across an interview with Sir Ken Robinson. Apparently, he recently wrote a book called "The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything" and encourages the funding for arts education. As a fourth year college student, I'm completely enthralled with the idea of finding a job that I am passionate about while still being capable to support myself financially. Lucky for me, he's speaking at the Hammer as part of their lecture series on Wednesday (Jan. 28) at 7 p.m. and yes, it's FREE. I'm definitely attending because I need as much guidance (and hopefully encouragement) as I can get.

Also, this is about a month away but the Hammer has another awesome-looking event. On February 25th, they're holding the "Flux Screening Series."
Here is the event's description straight from the flux website:
