INAUGURATION OF THE GLOBAL METROPOLITAN STUDIES PROGRAM featuring Guest Lecturer Sir Peter Hall

Location: Wurster Hall Auditorium (Room 112)

Followed by a reception 6:30 - 7:15PM in the

Hey Guys!

You should all come to this event. Lief, Carmen, and I just heard Sir Hall speak this evening and it was great! He's a fantastic lecturer and has some very interesting things to say about public transit within the dispersed, low-density growth patterns in the US and lessons we can learn from cities abroad. Not to be missed!

Hey Guys,

If anyone still wants to attend the UC Transportation Center Student Conference (http://www.uctc.net/studentconference/) this thursday 2/9 through saturday 2/11, which features a bicycle tour of Berkeley's Bicycle Blvd that goes to the Marina, you still can, even though registration has formally been closed. James Rubin (jcrubin@berkeley.edu), a doctoral student with UCTC announced in CP114 that people can probably still attend if they talk to him . Also, I work at UCTC and I think they'd be really excited about more undergraduate interest in the conference. That about it. Hope all is well!
