faculty will be the first to leave - I will cue music which will start with some piano music playing then followed by the graduates exiting then the rest. Reception across from Woodruff in the Big 12 Room. I have asked that the partition between the rooms
be left open to leave more space. Big thanks to graduate student, and next year GTA, Grant Hansen, who will be assisting me. See you there! Thank you! -Linda</b></span></div>
