Over 100 students flocked in to the Grand Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union Wednesday night for Ben Gleiberman’s comical, yet educational seminar “Making College Count.”

Gleiberman, a motivational speaker for both high schools and colleges, gave students a worthwhile outlook on how to make their future goals a reality.

The plot involved the “unleashing of your inner monster,” which taught students how to succeed in the classroom, out of the classroom and on the job.

Gleiberman’s interactive style enabled students to participate in skits, hypothetical situations and ask questions concerning their future career path.

Bonnie Irwin, professor of English, acknowledges that the program helped students understand that they can “never start thinking about career planning too early.”

Irwin also said Gleiberman gave “good advice” and possessed “great energy.”

The multi-sponsored program offered an orientation booklet for students to fill in their own interests, career goals, study habits and web resources.

Gleiberman’s story discussing his own personal experience as a life-size submarine sandwich motivated students to do your best, no matter how stupid the jobs may be.

“It’s good to have students start thinking about their future before getting into trouble, which is what making college count is all about,” said Kimberlie Moock, director of orientation.

Besides his school appearances, Gleiberman is working on his own personal goals.

Gleiberman, a University of California San Diego graduate in honors communication, also participated in “The Gleib Show” as a comedian-talk host with special guests, including Carmen Electra.

He currently lives in Beverly Hills, where he is trying to involve himself with “The Gleib Show” again soon.
