Dr. Louis Sullivan will be among the speakers headlining Brown University's 30th annual Commencement Forums on Saturday, May 27, 2000.

This year's speakers will share lessons learned in the arenas of international politics, science, medicine and technology, as well as in the newsroom and on the football field. Sixteen forums will be offered Saturday, beginning at 9 a.m. and continuing throughout the day in various locations on campus. Each session will last 60 to 90 minutes and will include time for questions from the audience.
All forums are free and open to the public.

In Getting Your News Fix in the New Millennium , Klein will discuss the challenges and excitement of news reporting in a new medium for a new millennium. This forum will take place in Room 101 of the Salomon Center for Teaching on The College Green.
