As the year winds down, here’s a list of upcoming events to close out the school year:
1. AAMP ONLY: Dine with AAMP’s Very Own Sefa!

Time: TODAY, 5/1 7-9 pm
Place: SCC 240
Description: The AARC Arts Committee is excited to host a screening of Professor Tad Nakamura’s award winning documentary: Jake Shimabukuro: Life on Four Strings, a compelling portrait of an inspiring and inventive musician whose virtuoso skills on the ukulele have transformed all previous notions of the instrument’s potential. On the road from LA to NYC to Japan, the film captures the solitary life on tour: the exhilaration of performance, the wonder of newfound fame, and the loneliness of separation from home and family.
