On Thursday night, Academy-award winning actress Marlee Matlin joined What Matters to U (WMTU) in a conversation with students and faculty. Moderated by senior Grace Altidor and University of Miami lecturer Kirsten Schwarz Olemdo, Matlin shared stories about working in the entertainment industry as well as her advice for students who are still finding their passions. Here are some of the best photos from the event, taken by The Miami Hurricane Photo Team.
Marlee Matlin, an Academy Award winning actress, will be participating in a moderated discussion at the University of Miami on Thursday March 2 at 6:30 p.m. in the Shalala Student Center Grand Ballrooms. What Matters to U (WMTU), a Student Government agency created in the spring of 2019, welcomes high-profile speakers to campus for conversations with students and faculty that would not ordinarily occur in a classroom. At a typical WMTU event, students have the opportunity to hear wisdom and experiences from accomplished individuals of various backgrounds. Student and faculty moderators also can ask hard-hitting questions about how students can take what they learn and apply it to their current journey.
