Hey guys,
I thought I would send you something that came in the student list serve today in case you don't read it.

Pulitzer-prize winning cartoonist, Joel Pett, will be on campus the week of September 21 and will, in addition to a public talk titled "What in the World is so Funny?", offer a couple of open forums directed at those interested specifically in cartoons related to environmental issues and those interested in issues related to free speech, the first amendment and corporate media (I will send announcements regarding these events later; please go to http://www.whitman.edu/content/global-studies/events for more information).

At this time, I would like to bring your attention to a workshop that he is offering that he describes thus:

DRAW YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS: A Hands-on workshop on originality, creativity and satire. A freewheeling demonstration and no-holds-barred discussion of the creative process. Joel Pett is certain that we all have "an innate and natural bent for forceful self-expression." So how do we tap into it?

Since this is an interactive session, spots in these workshops are limited.
The workshop for students is on Thurs, 9/24, 8-9 pm in Maxey 142. To register, please go to http://www.prestoregister.com/cgi-bin/order.pl?ref=globalstudies and click on the appropriate registration link.

This event is sponsored by the Ashton J. and Virginia Graham O’Donnell Endowment for Global Studies.
