Join us for a live stream book lecture. Nyle DiMarco—a prominent Deaf actor, producer, advocate, model, and author of the 2024 K-State common read "Deaf Utopia"—will give a public lecture about his book at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 16, at McCain Auditorium. The lecture will be streamed live to K-State Olathe.
The hourlong lecture, which is free to the public, will explore DiMarco's memoir, which is an insight to his life and upbringing as a deaf person and a member of the Deaf community. As one half of a pair of Deaf twins born to a multi-generational Deaf family in Queens, New York, DiMarco uses his personal and lived experiences to provide readers with a glimpse into the lives of Deaf people and what it means to navigate a world built for hearing people.

All students, staff, faculty, and community members are welcome to attend the live stream viewing at K-State Olathe.
