Branson performer teaches MSU class

Yakov Smirnoff, who recently graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a master’s degree in positive psychology, will teach an intercession class 12:15–3:15 p.m. Aug. 7–11 at Missouri State University.

The class, “Living Happily Ever Laughter,” is designed to help students “understand the connection between love and laughter in relationships,” Smirnoff said in a news release.

“The class will address why there are 120 million single Americans unsuccessfully trying to find their match,” he said in the release. “You’ll learn how to predict the future of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s relationship. You’ll learn how to find your soul mate.”

MSU students may register for the class at the school’s Web site, and members of the public may call (417) 836-4126 to enroll. The one-credit course is $173.
