It is too bad that two of these programs conflict!

Updated to include additional speakers recently announced!

The last two speakers of this week's "Fab Four" are at exactly the same time: today (Thursday) at 4:00 PM, fortunately at opposite ends of campus.

At this point:
- Dr. Rice's talk is livestream-only.
- Mr. Neri's talk is not at capacity, but is getting close. It will be a nice crowd.

For Mr. Neri's talk in Duncan Hall, it is recommend that you take Entrance 1, 2, or 3 to campus from Main St, and park in the Founders Court (FC) Visitor Lot, near Cohen House. This approach will keep you away from the traffic for Dr. Rice's talk.

While Condoleezza Rice is obviously much better known, Antonio Neri is one of the most respected CEO's in the world, and his company has quietly earned many impressive recognitions in his six years (almost exactly) at the helm. It is a rare privilege to have someone of his stature here on campus to talk with our students and alumni.

Quite a day hear on South Main!
