The University Program Council will present “How (and Why) To Travel the World” with Andy Stoll at 7:30 p.m. March 13 in the auditorium of the Nebraska Union.

The event is free for UNL students with a valid NCard and $5 for all others.

Shortly after his graduation from the University of Iowa in 2003, storyteller and social entrepreneur Andy Stoll embarked on a solo four-year trip around the world, visiting 40 countries. Along the way, he explored entrepreneurial opportunities and studied communities, education systems, economies, cultures, media industries and people. Now he spends his time traveling to schools across the country speaking about his experiences and inspiring others to get out and see the world.

Some of Stoll’s most memorable appearances have been speaking at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, and multiple TEDx events. Stoll’s message to students is “the distance between who you are and who you want to become is closer than you think.” His presentation is designed to inspire students to embark on their own travels, and give knowledge and insight into living a life of their own creation.

The University Program Council is a student organization that provides diverse, educational and entertaining programs to enhance the UNL community. For more information, go to http://involved.unl.edu/upc.
