As part of the 2024–2026 Common Book program, Tulsa Community College announces that Mo Rocca, the well-known CBS News correspondent, humorist, and television personality, will be a special guest this month.

“A Conversation with Mo Rocca” will be held at the VanTrease Performing Arts Center for Education at TCC Southeast Campus on April 10 at 7 p.m.

Rocca is recognized for his ability to tell captivating, intelligent stories that combine humor and interesting observations.

The theme of the TCC Common Book program for the 2024–2026 academic year is the art of having open-minded, inquisitive conversations in a world that is becoming more and more divided, and this event aligns perfectly with that theme.

Rocca’s reporting and public speaking point at the importance of understanding others’ perspectives, which is emphasized in Mónica Guzmán’s book, “I Never Thought of It That Way: How to Have Fearlessly Curious Conversations in Dangerously Divided Times.”

Guests will receive a unique look into the thoughts of one of the most unique voices in contemporary media at the event. Rocca will talk about his own experiences in the journalistic industry, providing insights into his creative storytelling style and captivating stories that have shaped his career.

Rocca, who is well-known for his passionate and humorous interviewing style on NPR’s “Wait, Wait… Don’t Tell Me!,” has fascinated audiences with his ability to bring humor to even the most difficult topics. This event is a must-attend for everyone interested in media, communication, and the power of storytelling through curiosity.

An entertaining and enlightening evening is guaranteed with “A Conversation with Mo Rocca.” Rocca’s distinct blend of humor, insight, and curiosity presents a fresh perspective on the media environment and the stories that influence our society. This is an exceptional opportunity to listen to one of the most prominent voices in modern journalism.
