SUMMARY:Liz Murray ~ Distinguished Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Liz Murray\nFree tickets are available now for graduate students at the SBI Ticket Offices (221 Student Union and 350 Harriman Hall).  1 per UB ID.\nBestselling Author of “Breaking Night: A Memoir of Forgiveness\, Survival\, and My Journey from Homeless to Harvard”\nUB Reads Author \nLiz Murray’s life is a triumph over adversity and a stunning example of the importance of dreaming big. Murray’s life as the child of cocaine-addicted parents in the Bronx was bitterly grim. There was never food in the house\, everything was filthy\, drugs were everywhere and the welfare checks were spent before they arrived. By age 15\, Murray’s mom had died and she was homeless—living on the streets\, riding the subway all night and eating from dumpsters. Amidst this pain\, Murray always imagined her life could be much better than it was. Determined to take charge of her life\, Murray finished high school in just two years while camping out in New York City parks and subway stations. \nLifetime Television produced a movie about Murray’s life story entitled “From Homeless to Harvard\,” which premiered in April 2003. Her memoir\, “Breaking Night\,” was released in September 2010 and within a week landed on The New York Times bestseller list. \nMurray received her B.S. in Psychology from Harvard University in June 2009. She is the recipient of Oprah Winfrey’s first ever Chutzpah Award. \nFor more information\, please visit: \n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/lizmurraybreakingnight \n\nLecture Sponsor:
