SUMMARY:Distinguished Speaker Series presents Kevin Olusola
DESCRIPTION:Kevin Olusola\n\n\nPentatonix Beatboxer | Classical Fusion Artist | Expert on Creativity\nand Collaboration \n\n\n50th ANNUAL MARTIN LUTHER KING\, JR. COMMEMORATION KEYNOTE SPEAKER \n\nPresented in part by:\n\n\n\n\n\nFree tickets available for graduate students starting January 26th through the UB Ticket Office.  1 per UB ID.\n\nPublic Ticket Information\n\n\n\n\nTues.\, Feb. 10\, 2026 at 7:00 p.m.\nCenter for the Arts\nUB North Campus \n\nMore About Kevin Olusola\n\n\nKevin Olusola creates art at a nexus between styles\, cultures and perspectives. His signature sound reimagines classical musicianship through an ambitious modern sonic and lyrical lens\, while balancing his dynamic background of Nigerian and Grenadian heritage. He showcases his ability to captivate as a solo artist or as one-fifth of three-time GRAMMY® Award-winning multiplatinum a cappella phenomenon Pentatonix. As such\, all of these energies and elements comprise his ever-evolving artistic vision as vocal powerhouse\, songwriter\, beatboxer\, cellist and producer. \nOlusola is known as a pioneer of “celloboxing” — playing the cello and beatboxing at the same time — and has garnered international acclaim and recognition from music industry leaders including Yo-Yo Ma\, Quincy Jones\, Pharrell\, and countless others. The fluent Chinese speaker and Yale graduate began developing the skill in college\, and in his senior year his celloboxing video performing Mark Summer’s “Julie-O” exploded on YouTube. Vocal arranger Ben Bram and Pentatonix member Scott Hoying serendipitously reached out to Olusola to create Pentatonix and audition for Season 3 of the NBC a cappella TV show “The Sing-Off.” After winning the competition’s top prize\, Pentatonix went on to multiplatinum success (over 10 million albums sold)\, #1 albums\, three GRAMMY® Awards\, film and television projects\, sold-out arena tours\, and rapturous performances on iconic stages around the world from The Hollywood Bowl to The Kennedy Center. Their YouTube channel boasts over 20 million subscribers and yields over 6 billion video views. \nAs a solo artist\, he released “The Renegade” EP (which debuted #1 on the Billboard Traditional Classical and Classical Crossover charts)\, “The Triptyq Sessions” EP\, and the “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” EP\, as well as fan favorite singles and collaborations. His debut solo album\, “Dawn of A Misfit\,” was released May 2025 via Sony Music Masterworks. He was also named one of the 100 History Makers in the Making by NBC’s TheGrio. \nAs a speaker\, Olusola’s captivating presentations cover themes ranging from innovation and creativity to teamwork and collaboration all while weaving in stories from his inspiring personal journey. Whether he’s speaking for corporations like Nike\, universities like Yale\, or megachurches like Willow Creek\, his combination of musical performance and storytelling delivers a unique keynote experience that will inspire any and every type of audience.

SUMMARY:What is the Price of Freedom for Workers? A lecture by Dr. Joseph Heath
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, November 7th 4 pm – 6 pm at Park Hall 141 \nThe speaker: Dr. Joseph Heath. Dr. Heath is a professor in philosophy at the University of Toronto. His interest lies in social and political philosophy\, business ethics\, moral philosophy\, and distributive justice. He is the author of many renowned books and papers including “Following the Rules (Oxford)”\, “Filthy Lucre (Harper Collins)”\, and “Communicative Action and Rational Choice (MIT Press).” \nThe title and abstract of the talk: What is the Price of Freedom for Workers? \nPhilosophical discussions of market failure typically focus on three canonical causes: externalities\, information asymmetries\, and insufficient competitiveness. These three causes are important in part because of their generality\, since the defects in question can arise in any market. There is\, however\, another extremely important source of market failure\, which is sometimes overlooked because it lacks the same generality. The market failures in question arise from the non-alienability of labor (or the constraint that human capital can only be rented\, not purchased). Non-alienability is institutionalized through limits on contracting\, which directly inhibit the formation of certain markets. But these constraints also have downstream effects\, causing other markets to fail. This paper describes these effects in the markets for credit\, for education and training\, and in childrearing services. Understanding these market failures\, in turn\, helps us to better understand the various non-market institutions that arise in order to address these problems.

He played college football at the University of Pittsburgh and was selected by the Bills in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. Hamlin spent most of his rookie season as a backup before becoming a starter in 2022 following a season-ending injury to Micah Hyde. \nHamlin\, a true champion both on and off the field\, has left an indelible mark through his remarkable journey of resilience and philanthropy. In 2023\, Hamlin launched the CPR Tour\, a groundbreaking initiative through the Chasing M’s Foundation. This tour has equipped over 1\,200 individuals with life-saving skills\, provided 170 AEDs to communities in need\, and catalyzed legislative change in 12 states. \nNotably\, Hamlin established the Heroes Scholarship in Cincinnati\, honoring the medical workers pivotal to his recovery. This scholarship not only pays tribute to their dedication but also supports the next generation of healthcare heroes. \nHamlin and the foundation extend their impact through various initiatives\, including football clinics\, back-to-school drives\, the annual toy drive\, Thanksgiving drives\, and health and wellness programs. These efforts reflect Hamlin’s commitment to fostering positive change in communities. \nIn 2024\, Hamlin and the foundation plan to expand the CPR Tour to five U.S. cities and internationally to Europe\, Asia and Africa. This visionary step underscores Hamlin’s global perspective and the foundation’s commitment to making a difference on a broader scale\, bringing life-saving skills to communities around the world. \nAccolades such as the 2023 PFWA Halas Award\, Comeback Player of the Year\, the 2023 Alan Page Community Award and the 2023 Ed Block Courage Award underscore Hamlin’s impact. Since January 2\, 2023\, he has become a dedicated advocate for increasing awareness of CPR training and AED access. \nHamlin is driven by a profound purpose\, channeling his experience into programs that encourage young people to pursue their dreams. In every sense\, Hamlin is not just an athlete but a champion who inspires and uplifts those around him.

SUMMARY:Distinguished Speaker Series presents Jon Meacham
DESCRIPTION:Jon Meacham\n\n\nPresidential Historian | Pulitzer Prize-Winning Author \n\n\n\n\nFree tickets available for graduate students starting Monday\, September 16th through the UB Ticket Office.  1 per UB ID.\n\nPublic Ticket Information\n  \nWed.\, Oct. 16\, 2024 at 7:00 p.m.\nCenter for the Arts\nUB North Campus \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore About Jon Meacham\n\n\nPresidential historian and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jon Meacham is one of America’s most prominent public intellectuals. A contributor to TIME\, Meacham is a highly sought-after commentator\, regularly appearing on MSNBC\, CNN and other news outlets. A skilled orator with a depth of knowledge about politics\, religion and current affairs\, Meacham has the unique ability to bring history to life and offer historical context to current events and issues impacting our daily lives—whether we realize it or not—to audiences of all backgrounds and levels of understanding. \nHe served as Newsweek’s managing editor from 1998 to 2006 and as editor from 2006 to 2010. \nMeacham released two podcasts with the History Channel: “Hope Through History” and “It Was Said.” Narrated and written by Meacham\, season two of the critically acclaimed “Hope Through History” podcast explores some of the most historic and trying times in American History\, how the nation dealt with the impact of these moments\, and how we came through these moments a more unified nation. “It Was Said\,” tells the stories of those crucial words\, taking listeners back to inflection points ranging from the McCarthy era to our present time through the real-time rhetoric that shaped and suffused America as the country struggled through storm and strife. “It Was Said” captures the nation we’ve been\, and points ahead to the nation we hope to become. \nMeacham is the author of multiple New York Times bestsellers including\, “Songs of America\,” which is a celebration of the music that helped shape a nation. Co-written by musician Tim McGraw\, “Songs of America” was praised as “a glorious celebration of our diversity” by Quincy Jones and an “unusually well-written and moving story” by Ken Burns. Another #1 New York Times bestseller\, “The Soul of America: The Battle for Our Better Angels\,”examines the present moment in American politics and life by looking back at critical times in U.S. history when hope overcame division and fear. He released “His Truth Is Marching On: John Lewis and the Power of Hope”—an intimate and revealing portrait of civil rights icon and longtime U.S. congressman John Lewis that quickly gained bestseller status. \nMeacham’s presidential biography of George H. W. Bush\, “Destiny and Power: The American Odyssey of George Herbert Walker Bush\,” debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestsellers list. According to the Times\, “‘Destiny and Power’ reflects the qualities of both subject and biographer: judicious\, balanced\, deliberative\, with a deep appreciation of history and the personalities who shape it.” He is a co-author of “Impeachment: An American History\,” which reveals the complicated motives behind the three impeachments in U.S. history. A #1 New York Times bestseller\, “Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power” was hailed as “masterful and intimate” by Fortune magazine. Meacham’s other national bestsellers include “Franklin and Winston\,” “American Gospel\,” and “American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House\,” which won a Pulitzer Prize. \nMeacham is a frequent guest on “Morning Joe;” “Real Time with Bill Maher;” “The 11th Hour\,” and was featured in Ken Burns’ documentary series “The Roosevelts: An Intimate History.” FOX News produced an hour-long special about Meacham’s “Destiny and Power.” \nNamed a “Global Leader for Tomorrow” by the World Economic Forum\, he is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and a fellow of the Society of American Historians. Meacham is a distinguished visiting professor at Vanderbilt University where he holds the Rogers Chair in the American Presidency. His latest New York Times bestseller\, “And There Was Light: Abraham Lincoln and the American Struggle\,” was published in October 2022.
