FREE MODA LECTURE: Please Plan to Attend since you are involved in this exhibition

Inn case students are interested in attending our Graphic Design lecture on October 2, I thought I'd let you know that the information about it has changed. Thanks to the generosity of a sponsor, the lecture is now FREE.

The title of the lecture is Visualizing Cultural Differences: Design and the HIV/AIDS Crisis. It will be given by Elizabeth Resnick, curator of the exhibition. The lecture will be held in the Hill Auditorium of the Woodruff Arts Center and there is no charge to hear the lecture. Following the lecture, we'll serve wine and beer at the Museum (there will be our regular $10 charge for that) and there will be the opportunity to meet the curators and see the exhibition.

We do ask that people register online in advance as seating is limited. The registration link is here: http://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/event?oeidk=a07e4t2h6cbd7edfacb&llr=zpenw9cab

Thank you!
