Convocation with Brian Sostek '90 | "Fear, Failure, and Catastrophe: How To Talk with Strangers"
Brian Sostek, is a writer, choreographer, director, performer, and teacher who brings the best practices of his performing arts career to bear on academic research, writing, and interpersonal communication. In other words, he graduated from Carleton with a B.A. in English and made a go of it. Currently, Brian spends a lot of his time at the University of Minnesota, working with undergrads through faculty members in the Department of Theatre Arts and Dance, the School of Nursing, the School of Medicine, the University Honors Program, Clinical and Translational Science Institute, and the College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences (among many other departments, schools, and programs), teaching them how to talk with strangers in one context or another.
Convocation will be available for viewing via Zoom for those unable to attend. Please register in advance for the program. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the program. The entire ceremony will be recorded and archived on the Convocations website.
