Inauguration Information

If you were lucky enough to score tickets to the inauguration of Barack Obama, or just want to know about the preparations required, the Senate Rules Committee has a website with all the information you need.

For events not occurring at the Capitol Building, check out the Presidential Inaugural Committee website. The PIC is responsible for planning the inaugural parade and official inaugural balls.

You have until tonight, Jan. 8, at midnight to enter a contest to win tickets to the swearing-in and one of the inaugural balls. You just have to write a short essay on what Barack Obama's inauguration means to you.

And for those of us who will be on campus that day, the inauguration will be broadcast live from 10:00 AM until 2:00 PM on a large screen TV in the Tudor Room. Televisions in the cafeteria and Preston Student Lounge will be set to channels showing the events of the day. The Student Bar Association will be supplying refreshments in the Tudor Room during the broadcast.
