You can watch historic inauguration from campus
The inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th president of the United States on Tuesday, Jan. 20, in Washington, D.C., will be a historic occasion.It's also going to be a time for good cheer and celebration. Some departments and campus units, such as the International Institute, are hosting early-morning screenings with coffee and pastries. "We're expecting a big turnout," said German Esparza, the institute's program manager, who's getting the word out to students in interdepartmental degree programs.
