Andrew Jenks of MTV's "World of Jenks" will appear March 31 at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Presented by the University Program Council, Jenks will appear at 7:30 p.m. in the Centennial Room of the Nebraska Union, 14th and R streets. This event will be free for UNL Students with a valid NCard and $5 for all others.
An award-winning documentary filmmaker, Jenks takes viewers on unforgettable journeys as he captures a wide range of voices and personal stories. Each week, Jenks immerses himself in a different person's world and reveals unique slices of American life, uncovering incredible stories and people along the way. His first two documentaries, "Room 335" and "The Zen of Bobby V," received critical acclaim, with the latter premiering at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival. With his rare ability to connect deeply with his subjects, Jenks creates films that are intensely authentic.
UPC also will hold a DKMS-sponsored bone marrow drive during the event and will be assisting in the registration of donors. For more information on DKMS, visit www.dkmsamericas.org/home.
The University Program Council is a volunteer student organization designed to address the co-curricular, social, recreational, cultural, and educational needs of the campus.
