>> "The Research University in the World of the Future" series is designed

>> adjusting to address society's changing needs. As we envision our campus 20
>> to 50 years into the future, we are exploring how to best position the
>> university for continued relevance and impact.
>>
>> Again, Mr. Augustine will deliver his public message at 4:00 p.m. in the
>> Beckman Institute Auditorium, 405 North Mathews Avenue, Urbana.

>> I hope you will join us.
