TAVIS SMILEY



Broadcaster, Author, Publisher, Advocate, and Philanthropist

Tuesday, January 24th, 7:00 PM

Beckman Auditorium

FREE, no tickets required

From his celebrated conversations with world figures to his work to inspire the next generation of leaders; as a broadcaster, author, publisher, advocate, and philanthropist, Tavis Smiley continues to be an outstanding voice for change. Smiley is currently the host of the late-night television talk show Tavis Smiley on PBS and two Public Radio International Shows, The Tavis Smiley Show and Smiley and West. The latter is co-hosted with his abiding friend, Dr. Cornel West.

Smiley left his studio chair in Los Angeles to go on the road with TAVIS SMILEY REPORTS, his primetime specials on PBS which examine some of the country\'s most defining moments. The reports included going behind the scenes with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; examining one of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.\'s greatest speeches, \"Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence\"; examining an undeclared crisis in America-the staggering dropout rate among young black males; and Tavis\' 18-city \"Poverty Tour\" in August 2011, highlighting the plight of the poor of all backgrounds.

In addition to his radio and television work, Smiley has authored 15 books. His memoir, What I Know for Sure: My Story of Growing Up in America, became a New York Times best seller. In his latest book, FAIL UP: 20 Lessons on Building Success from Failure, Smiley steps from behind the curtain of success to recount 20 instances of perceived \"failures\" that were actually pivotal \"life lessons.\"



Smiley\'s most gratifying accomplishments are rooted in his passion to inspire the next generation of leaders. The nonprofit Tavis Smiley Foundation was established to provide leadership training and development for youth. His communications company, The Smiley Group, Inc., is dedicated to supporting human rights and related empowerment issues.?

Smiley\'s achievements have earned him numerous awards and honorary doctorate degrees, including the prestigious Du Bois Medal from Harvard University and the 2009 Interdependence Day Prize from Demos in Istanbul, Turkey. TIME magazine honored Smiley in 2009 as one of \"The World\'s 100 Most Influential People.\"?
