What's Your Secret?

As one of the new Assistant Directors of UPC's Speakers and Comedians Committee, I've jumped right in to help prepare for our first guest lecturer of the semester. Maybe I'm biased, but I believe this is one of the most awesome events UPC has brought to Auburn since I've been a student here. Frank Warren, founder of PostSecret, is coming to The Plains!

I'm sure many of you are like me and have been fascinated with PostSecret ever since the All American Rejects video, "Dirty Little Secret." For those of you who may not have heard of the phenomenon born on the backs of homemade postcards, let me enlighten you- PostSecret is described as a community mail art project in which people mail their deepest, darkest secrets to Frank Warren, who posts many of these on his blog or includes them in a book or exhibit. These secret-keepers get to remain anonymous, but they also gain a sense of freedom by letting their secret go. If you've ever been on PostSecret.com or read one of the books, you know how moving and emotional some of the postcards can be.

We've got much more to do to get ready for the event. I've been working on advertisements that look like postcards (clever, right?) to put around campus. Also, we'll be selling tickets the week of February 1-5. They're only one dollar with a current Auburn Student ID. The PostSecret events have been selling out on other campuses, so don't be left out! Warren and his collection of secrets will be in Auburn on February 8th at 7:00 PM in the Student Center ballroom.
