I would like to invite you to meet Ben Davis on May 7th at 1:3O PM in
my office ( 100 B visual arts building.) This will be an informal
session and an opportunity to meet Ben in person. Jennifer Messer,
Director of Development for ICE will also be touring Ben around campus
Tuesday morning. If you have a specific interest in having him come
through your area let me know and I will try to arrange it with
Jennifer if time allows.
Also, on another note take a look to Frontline's The Merchants of Cool?
It is a glimpse on what you can expect students to be like
in the near future and the reality is shaping them -
