[Srm] Tentative Program for RISE this Saturday

[Mcclaran, Mitchel P - (mcclaran)]

Colleagues,



Here is the tentative program for the RISE Symposium this Saturday on the UA campus.  We will provide the final program at Registration this Saturday morning.



You will see that we added some different speakers in the morning because the ARS speakers are unavailable due to the lapse in federal funding and subsequent government shutdown.  We are very grateful to Alyssa Rosemartin and Ben Ruddell for accepting our last-minute invitation to join the program.



We are looking forward to another grand time this Saturday.



Sincerely,

Mitch McClaran and Shirley Papuga
