DIRECTIONS
The conversation will begin at 5pm in the Lyra Room in the Bronco Student Center (Building 35); it is located on the first floor, past the food court. If you enter at the food court on the lower level, take a left, walk through the lower rotunda, and the room is just down that hallway. And here is a Google Map pin for walking directions that will take you to the entrance of the lower rotunda.
The reception after the talk will take place in the lobby of the University Theatre, building 25. Faculty will walk you over after the talk. But if you get separated, you can find walking directions here. Here is also a Google Map pin to open in your GPS app.
