The Spring 2010 Bowman Breakfast will feature Roger Di Paolo, editor of the Record Courier.

He will present his speech, entitled “A Plea for Audacity: 100 Years Later,” in the Student Center Ballroom tomorrow.

The breakfast is meant “to bring townspeople and university people together,” said Mary Mandalari, senior secretary of University Communications and Marketing.

The semi-annual event, sponsored by Kent State and the Kent Area Chamber of Commerce, has been a tradition since 1963.

Doors will open at 7 a.m. for registration and check-in. Breakfast will begin at 7:30 a.m., followed by the program at 8 a.m.

Reservations must be made by today. The cost is $9 at the door.

Mandalari said anyone wishing to attend can call her at 330-672-8664 or make reservations online.
