You are cordially invited to An Evening with George Takei—The 2021-2022 Sо̄shitsu Sen XV Distinguished Lecture on Japanese Culture. The event is on April 14, 2022 at 6:00 PM at the Miller Theatre, Columbia University (2960 Broadway, at West 116th Street).

George Takei is known around the world for his role in the acclaimed original TV series Star Trek, in which he played Hikaru Sulu, helmsman of the starship Enterprise. But Takei's story, which includes an acting career that spans six decades, goes where few have gone before. From a childhood spent with his family wrongfully imprisoned in Japanese American internment camps during World War II to becoming one of the country's leading figures in the right for social justice, LGBTQ+ rights and marriage equality, Takei remains a powerful voice on issues ranging from politics to pop culture.
