Actor, producer, humanitarian Danny Glover, 7 p.m., Hoag Recital Hall

A commanding presence on screen, stage and television for more than 25 years, Glover’s  film credits range from the blockbuster Lethal Weapon franchise to smaller independent features, some of which Glover also produced. Most recently, he completed filming the critically acclaimed feature Dreamgirls directed by Bill Condon and Poor Boy`s Game for director Clement Virgo and Shooter for director Antoine Fuqua and Be Kind, Rewind for director Michel Gondry. At the same time, Glover has also gained respect for his wide-reaching community activism and philanthropic efforts, with a particular emphasis on advocacy for economic justice, and access to health care and education programs in the United States and Africa.

The Office of Student Activities at Colorado State University-Pueblo will sponsor eight presentations this academic year on topics ranging from racial profiling and domestic abuse to same-sex marriage and human rights by individuals who have distinguished themselves in their fields. The event is free and open to the public.
