More Info of Degrassi's Shannon Kook-Chun

I have noticed several blog posts about this, so I will let them explain everything about this free event taking place Columbia College Chicago during International Education Week (I did a couple weeks ago).

However, some of them have not yet stated where to get tickets (so I'm first, LOL). Go to shannonatccchicago.eventbrite.com for tickets (currently, it is password protected to only allow Columbia students, faculty, staff and alumni). Tickets will be available for everyone on Sunday, October 31, 2010.

Again, why I am talking about this? Well, Shannon Kook-Chun is from South Africa and was raised during apartheid and is of Chinese decent. The experiences of other racial/ethnic groups in South Africa during that period is seldom heard. This is an opportunity to hear this experience (as well as other topics relating to him) first hand.
