Over 15 years and 30,000 signs later, he shares them with audiences, weaving together hilarious images from his collection with his equally outrageous travel anecdotes and observations. Both entertaining and enlightening, these signs offer insight on cultural differences, while others simply highlight the comical challenges that all travelers face.

Thursday, April 15, 2010
5:00p.m.-6:30p.m. in Regnier Center 101 A&D (Capitol Federal Room)

Born with spina bifida, Matt Scott has become a powerful presence on the U.S. Men's Wheelchair Basketball National Team since making the U.S. Paralympic Team in 2004 at the age of 18. In a short time, he has become a leader on the squad. Despite a rough road in Beijing, Scott will surely be on the team in 2012 as it looks to get on the medal stand.
