Manhattan Comedy School Presents: Comedy as a Career Skill
It’s been proven people are 2.5 times more likely to remember what you tell them if you make them laugh. This is great news for those pursuing comedy, but it’s even better news for professionals with a sense of humor. Comedy can help take your interview, presentation, or pitch to the next level.
Join us for a talk and Q&A from Andy Engel of the Manhattan Comedy School (https://manhattancomedyschool.com/) as we discuss how comedy can play a valuable role in any professional’s life, whether they’re pursuing stand-up or not.
Attendees will learn new ways of using their own sense of humor to amplify the next step of their career.

Sober Curious
Are you in recovery? Are you interested in being sober? Do you want to meet people who also do not want to drink? Recovery communities gather on campuses all across the country. Some larger universities have recovery houses, sober dorm floors, and other activities. There is a new weekly, AA-inspired meeting happening in the Emerson community!
All Emerson community members (students, staff and faculty) are welcome, both those with long-term sobriety, and interested in learning more about being sober, living a sober lifestyle or want to talk more about stopping drinking.
It is modeled on AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) with readings from AA literature followed by one hour of open discussion.
Every WEDNESDAY at 4pm- Zoom:

What Matters to Me and Why: A Lunchtime Conversation with featured speaker Shen de Leon
A weekly lunchtime convo with the Center for Spiritual Life! During each session, members of the Emerson community can enjoy a deeper look into the journeys, motivations, and values of an invited speaker who will spend about 15-20 minutes addressing the topic “What Matters to Me and Why,” and then the floor is opened to informal dialogue for the remainder of the hour.
This informal lunchtime gathering about the motivations and passions of each guest speaker also invites each of us to reflect on our own motivations, passions, and why we do what we do.

So You Want to Work in Late Night
Friday, September 25th at 4pm ET/1pm PT
Join us for the first installment of the So You Want To… series, a webinar series featuring recent Emerson alumni who are making their mark in the industries of your dreams. Up first: Late Night TV.
Millions of people tune in nightly to hear what Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, or their favorite Jimmy has to say about the state of the world. Late night programs simultaneously entertain and inform their viewers – blending together so many technical skills and areas of passions – from television production and politics to journalism and comedy. It practically speaks for itself why so many Emersonians pursue competitive summer internships and have post-grad dreams the size of The Daily Show desk.
And better yet, Emerson alumni work in all facets of what keeps these programs running every weeknight – from producing segments and writing cold opens, to overseeing graphics and manning cameras, to even being the person behind the desk, interviewing guests, with their name in lights.
Maybe you’re next!
Join us for a conversation with 4 recent alumni whose day jobs keep everyone up at night, as they answer your questions about the industry, their careers, and more.
