The service will feature several speakers including state officials, university leaders and friends of Hooker. Special music also is planned. The service is expected to last more than one hour. Organizers will supply tables and video monitors under a tent. Media seating will be reserved near the front left corner of the hall for print reporters and others who don't need to be outside for feeds.
Space is limited.
Any vacant seats at that time will open for the public. Still photographers may shoot the service only from a designated area inside Memorial. Priority will go to TV trucks involved with live shots. Officials will work with others who need to load or unload heavy equipment. Parking for their vehicles likely will be across the street in the Swain Hall lot.
