The Great Hall is the centerpiece of the

new Honors Center, and will be the site of
many events in the coming months and
years. These include our Thoughts Worth
Thinking series, the first of which is tonight, from 6:00 to 8:00pm. The discussion, on "What Tillman Might Think About
What We Think About Tillman," will be led
by history professor P. C. Anderson. We
also plan to host future Pizza and Politics
events in the Great Hall, including the second and third presidential debates, and a
series of concerts featuring Clemson performance groups and various Honors students.

I want to thank all of you for your patience

facilities to finish the building and troubleshoot some of the technological issues.
We look forward to seeing you tonight for
Thoughts Worth Thinking, and at many
future events!
