hope that you will be able to attend the sessions as you have opportunity. Ambassador Robert Zoellick will be our keynote speaker at 7:00 PM, Tuesday, October 15, on the 5th Floor of Cashion. Ambassador Zoellick served as US Trade Representative,
head of the World Bank, and a number of other significant positions.
There will be a dinner at 6:00 PM in the McMullen Faculty Center adjacent to the Cashion building before the Zoellick address, and a luncheon on Wednesday in Armstrong-Browning Library at which
Paula Caldwell St-Onge, the Consul General of Canada will speak. You are welcome to attend either or both of these, but seating is limited and a
reservation is required.
A campus map can be accessed at

We will hope to see you next week!
All the best,
