Kevin Hart to perform Dec. 7 at IU Auditorium By Audrey Perkins audperki@indiana.edu | @AudreyNLP

IU Auditorium announced Wednesday that Kevin Hart will perform a stand-up comedy show at 7 p.m. Dec. 7. Tickets go on sale 10 a.m. Friday and can be purchased online at iuauditorium.com and at the auditorium’s box office. Brett Bassock, Union Board director of Live Entertainment, said in an email that tickets can be charged to the Bursar on iuauditorium.com. Tickets are $48 for students with a valid IU-Bloomington ID and $58 for non-students. “Kevin Hart has been on our short list of performers we have wanted to bring to IU for some time now,” Bassock said. “When this opportunity finally presented itself, IU Auditorium and Union Board worked dili-

gently together to make sure the show came to fruition.” Kevin Hart made his name in various feature films including “40-year old Virgin,” “Think Like a Man” and “Along Came Polly.” Hart began his career in a small Philadelphia comedy club, where he performed a stand-up routine and was hooked, according to an IU Auditorium press release. After his debut, he quit his job as a shoe salesman and started performing comedy full-time. “In today’s comedy, it simply doesn’t get better than Kevin Hart,” IU Auditorium Director Doug Booher said in a press release. “Kevin has his finger on the pulse of what is real and hilarious about life today, and I think his performance is especially going to

resonate with the IU student population. We could not be happier to be partnering with Union Board to bring him to the auditorium.” IU Auditorium and Union Board paired to present Kevin Hart’s performance, which is intended for mature audiences, according to the release. Bassock announced that there would be another event for students to look out for. “There will also be a special screening of his latest film ‘The Wedding Ringer’ in the Indiana Memorial Union Whittenberger Auditorium, and we will be announcing more details about the screening very soon,” he said. “We expect both the film screening and the IU Auditorium performance to create a high demand for tickets.” This event is expected to draw a high volume of students

The No. 2 IU (11-2-3) defense keyed IU’s 2-0 victory Wednesday against Evansville (5-9-1). Not only did the IU defense prevent an Evansville attack from scoring, it was solely responsible for the Hoosiers’ first goal. IU earned a corner kick in the seventh minute of the match. Senior outside back Patrick Doody sent in the corner where he found the head of freshman central defender Grant Lillard, who nodded home the eventual game winner. “We’ve been working on those a lot in practice,” Lillard said. “It was good to see that work pay off.” The goal was Lillard’s fourth of the season, second most on the team. The assist was Doody’s fourth of the season, also second best on the team. This season, IU’s defense has

Women interested in more jobs, opportunities and money should consider a career in tech, the IU Center of Excellence for Women in Technology’s website says. CEWiT — whose motto says “techie women have more” — celebrated its first birthday this past week with cupcakes and a talk by Google Technology Portfolio Manager Omoju Miller. The anniversary marks a year of the center’s active promotion of women in technology but is also a reminder of how much work remains, CEWiT Director Maureen Biggers said. “There aren’t many women in tech all over the country, so basically we’re in the same boat as everyone else,” Biggers said. Only 22 percent of students in the School of Informatics, where Biggers serves as assistant dean

Similar statistics in technology-related majors across the country, as well as the growing body of research on the benefits of gender diversity in technology, led to the formation about two years ago of a small IU team that includes Biggers, IU President Michael McRobbie and faculty members in business and computer science, Biggers said. “We wanted a better way to promote and support women in relation to technology on campus,” Biggers said. Since the virtual center launched last October, about 1,900 students, 310 faculty and 1,200 alumni have become involved through various alliances and groups within the center, Biggers said.
