Keynote Luncheon John Waters, Filmmaker (Hairspray, Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, Desperate Living, Polyester, A Dirty Shame, and more) John Waters is known for films that push the boundary of conventional pro- priety and censorship. At an early age, he was obsessed with violence and gore, and in the mid ’60s, he began making films with his offbeat friends as the cast. As his filmmaking became more polished and his movies became more shocking, his popularity grew. He is most well known for the film Hair- spray, which was turned into a hit Broadway musical and swept the 2003 John Waters Tony Awards. During the Keynote Luncheon, Waters will discuss influences on his creative work, including individuals from film and entertainment, and the places, people, and culture of his hometown, Baltimore. Closing Keynote Nina Totenberg, National Public Radio’s award-winning legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg’s reports air regularly on NPR’s critically acclaimed news- magazines—All Things Considered, Morning Edition, and Weekend Edition. She is also a correspondent for ABC’s Nightline and a regular panelist on Inside Washington. Totenberg’s coverage of legal affairs and the Supreme Court has won her widespread recognition and honors from both the National Press Foundation and the American Bar Association. Totenberg will examine Nina Totenberg connections between higher education and current issues and events in national public policy. Her rich experience and acute perspectives will be both challenging and informative.
