Residence Halls Advisory Council is hosting An Evening with Frank Warren, founder of PostSecret.com, tonight in room 131 of Hitchcock Hall at 7 p.m. PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on homemade post cards.
"I personally think it is very fascinating," said Fariba Massah, RHAC director of diversity and wellness. "It's something I know other people would enjoy."
Massah, a sophomore in microbiology, said PostSecret is a unique way for Internet users to express themselves amid the range of online forums such as MySpace and other blogs. Ohio State students are encouraged to attend the lecture and hear Warren discuss the PostSecret phenomenon that has captured international attention.
"He will hopefully share his experiences, which could potentially inspire college students," Massah said.
Massah said RHAC has been making big strides in programming and is excited to put on an event such as this, which spreads their name around campus as a large programming organization.
"Surprisingly it wasn't that hard to get Frank Warren to come here," Massah said.
Warren is expected to lecture at multiple schools across the country.
"From what I know he has been very successful at other schools and we anticipate the same here, if not more," Massah said.
Admission is free for OSU students. Warren's books will be available to purchase with BuckID.
"This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet Frank Warren," Massah said. "If you are not familiar with PostSecret this is a great way to get an introduction, and if they are, then they are probably already a fan and will probably already be there."
