Tomorrow’s lecture is on schedule and will take place between 1:00-2:15. Since this is a MU sponsored event, the lecture will proceed as scheduled despite any Penn Manor weather related cancellations, delays or early dismissals. That being said, if Penn Manor has a cancellation, delay or early dismissal  Mr. Sellers and I will NOT be attending the event. If Penn Manor is operating on a normal schedule Mr. Sellers and I will meet you at the main entrance of the auditorium located in the Winter Visual and Performing Arts Center.
