The Wichita State Alumni Association will host two events featuring alumnus Dean Hargrove, 1996 WSU President’s Medal recipient and producer of hundreds of television programs around the world.

Hargrove is best known for Hollywood projects that include “The Bob Newhart Show,” “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.,” “It Takes a Thief,” “Columbo,” the “Perry Mason” movies and “Matlock.”

WSU will host a free screening of Hargrove’s acclaimed 2015 documentary, “Tap World,” at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 4, in the CAC Theater. The documentary explores the global appeal of American-style tap dancing, following the stories of a variety of dancers in countries around the world. From a New Jersey man who lost a leg to bone cancer to a Brazilian mentoring underprivileged children in Campinas, “Tap World” shows the unifying enthusiasm of tap. Hargrove will give a brief presentation following the screening.

The Alumni Association will also host a dinner with Hargrove and three of his colleagues from the Hollywood film industry at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 5, at the Wichita Country Club.

Colleagues include Jeff Peters, writer and producer; Steven Poster, director of photography; and Alan Rachins, Golden Globe and Emmy nominated actor.
