Her wise and witty words and views on living a creative, passionate life have inspired many.

SARK was featured in the PBS series, "Women of Wisdom and Power" as well as a documentary film titled, "The World According to SARK." She is a periodic guest on National Public Radio and on her own "Inspiration Line."

SARK was born in Minneapolis. She studied at the Minneapolis Art Institute, the University of Tampa and the University of Minnesota before graduating from the School of Communication Arts in radio/TV production.

SARK is a self-described "recovering procrastinator/perfectionist who practices what she teaches," and she lives in San Francisco with her "fur husband" cat, Jupiter.

The event is sponsored by various organizations including: SAC, BLISS, CARE, DSU, CHARGE, Panhellenic Society, Habitat for Humanity, and Parsons Wellness Center.
