Speaker, come­dian, and author Jeff Havens will be com­ing to cam­pus to present his lec­ture enti­tled “How to get Fired!”

Havens grad­u­ated as a Phi Beta Kappa from Vanderbilt University. He orig­i­nally began his career as a high school English teacher, but soon fol­lowed his father into the world of stand-up comedy.

His love of teach­ing never dimin­ished, so Havens began search­ing for a way to com­bine his pas­sion for teach­ing and his sense of humor.  The results: two pre­sen­ta­tions called “How to get Fired!” and “Uncrapify your Life!”

In his lec­ture “How to get Fired!”, Havens dis­cusses the Four Pillars of Poverty: fake your resume, estab­lish your incom­pe­tence, destroy your work ethic, and alien­ate your cowork­ers.  According to jeffhavens​.com, this is “the only lec­ture guar­an­teed to ensure that you never become a pro­duc­tive mem­ber of society.”

Havens has pre­sented his humor­ous pro­grams to hun­dreds of cor­po­ra­tions and col­leges across the United States and Canada; such places include Ford Motor Company, General Electric, and Purdue.

Sometime this year, Havens is sched­uled to make his first appear­ance on Comedy Central. He will be per­form­ing orig­i­nal stand-up comedy.

This free 5-star event will be tak­ing place on Jan. 28 from 7 to 8:30 p.m in Williams Auditorium. For more infor­ma­tion, con­tact Entertainment Unlimited at EU@ferris.edu. ν
