The SIUE Morris University Center and Campus Activities Board are co-sponsoring TED Talks speaker Hannah Brencher’s visit to the MUC. She will appear on Thursday, Sept. 19at 7 p.m. in the Meridian Ballroom
Fresh out of college, Hannah fell into depression and searched for a way to find her “place in this world.” She began writing love letters and leaving them scattered across New York City. Brencher wrote about the experience on her blog, and soon a following grew. So, she made the Internet a promise, “If you emailed a snail mail address, she would write you a love letter.”
One year and 400 love letters later, “The World Needs More Love Letters” was born. Founded in September 2011, More Love Letters is a community of over 20,000 passionate individuals from 49 countries who take to leaving love letters all over their communities and mailing letters to strangers in need.
Following her presentation, Brencher will lead a letter writing activity.
