This year's Academic Council meeting will be a moving experience

The Academic Council meeting will begin in the new John A. and Cynthia Fry Gunn Building and, after a walking tour along Serra Mall, continue in the new Jen-Hsun Huang Engineering Center.

Faculty, staff and students are invited to join President John Hennessy at the annual meeting of the Academic Council from 3:30-5:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 13. 

The title of Hennessy's address is: "Positioning Stanford for the Future: New Places and Spaces."

Part one of the meeting will take place from 3:30 to 4:00 p.m. in the auditorium of the John A. and Cynthia Fry Gunn Building, the new home of the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research.  The building, which is located at the corner of Galvez Street and Memorial Way, was dedicated last month.

At 4:00 p.m., there will be a walking tour along Serra Mall with President Hennessy.

The second part of the meeting will be held from 4:20 to 4:50 p.m. in the auditorium of the new Jen-Hsun Huang Engineering Center, which is located in the southeast corner of the Science and Engineering Quadrangle. The building, which is still under construction, will be the hub of teaching and research at the School of Engineering.

All are invited to attend a reception in the Huang Center after the meeting.
