Responders will include GSB President Andy Tofilon, IRHA President Paul Duncan, GSS Vice President Dee Egdorf, and others. Sponsored by Office of the Provost, Government of the Student Body, Office of the Vice President for External Affairs, Office of the Vice President for Business, Division of Student Affairs, Graduate Student Senate, and the Committee on Lectures (funded by GSB).
