As co-president of Invisible Children’s Vanderbilt chap- ter, Schomp will screen the organization’s most recent film, “Tony,” on the Commons Lawn on Tuesday at 7 p.m. The event is free with food included. Representatives from IC’s head- quarters in California will attend and have merchandise for sale. All proceeds will go directly to IC’s campaign efforts.

Why is Invisible Children so important to you? It is an inspiring non-profit organization that uses film, creativ- ity and social action in an effort to end the longest running war in Africa. They also implement and develop programs focused on rebuilding schools, educating future leaders and providing jobs in Northern Uganda. This international movement is made up of a community of people with an unbelievable bond. Over the years, they have undoubtedly changed my life by their love, creativity and incredible passion. You can get more information by visiting www.invisiblechildren.com.

I’ve always been inspired, for example, by the way Invisible Children utilizes film in order to Anna McReynolds and the First Degree perform at the Vanderbilt Music Outreach “Monster Concert” in Sarratt Cinema Thursday evening. inspire people and instigate change. However, I’m also interested Music groups competed for penny votes from the audience. in the film sector of the music industry and will certainly be considering that as well. I still have a few years to figure it out, so I’m sure it will all come together with time.
