UWP Lecturers A LAST REMINDER: Conference in Honor of Emory Elliott begins FRIDAY

[Deborah Willis]

Dear Colleagues and Friends:  Here's a final 
reminder about the Transnational US Studies 
conference in honor of Emory Elliott which starts 
tomorrow (Friday 2/19) in CHASS INTS 
1113.   Coffee will be served at 9:30-10:00 a.m. 
and opening remarks from Dean Cullenberg and 
Professor Mark Elliott (Emory's son) begin at 
10.  You've probably received the schedule many 
times now, but here it is again, just in case.

I look forward to seeing many of you there.  Best, Deborah
