Where: McClendon Tower media room, 2nd floor

Why: The Self Knowledge Symposium presents: A viewing and discussion of Akira Kurosawa’s acclaimed movie Ikiru on Thursday April 17 from 7 pm-10pm. This is the 3rd and final in our Authentic Happiness Film Series. As Graduate Students, we can get caught up in assignments, deadlines and research. Perhaps you have even perfected the balancing act, but are you happy? Ikiru is a movie that challenges our thinking on what living really means.Is having a great job enough? What about family and great friends? Are these requisites for achieving authentic happiness? Are there some deliberate steps that a person can take to live in such a way that life itself becomes a joy? Please join us as we view this movie and discuss its implications for our own lives as students, friends, and family. The venue is the media room on the 2nd floor of the McClendon tower (McClendon 2).
