Seats to Fill: 763

Last year, something amazing happened for Webster University's Campus Activities: an event attracted such a huge crowd that a few hundred people had to be turned away. Perhaps it can be said that members of the student body at WU are a little apathetic when it comes to events... (but!) there is evidence that particular trend is changing. When Chris Gardner, author of The Pursuit of Happiness, spoke at Webster, he drew students, staff, faculty and outside attention. Hundreds of people, not enough seats. You can read about it at The Journal.

And now, trying to follow their Gardner success, Campus Activities is proud to bring British comedian John Oliver to the Loretto-Hilton Center on Monday, Feb. 18. The event is open to anyone, admission is $10.

Oliver is a correspondent on The Daily Show and is doing a slew of stand-up gigs across the country. WU's campus activities members are hoping to fill the main stage at the Loretto-Hilton Center, which has 763 seats. This guy, he's a funny guy. You should go see this guy.
