    I called the AUC campus to ask about the Stiglitz lecture tomorrow - if there are tickets, if its open to the public, etc - and I was told that even an official time for the lecture has not yet been decided! any idea where I can find a reliable source of info about tomorrow?

    The lecture is advertised on the AUC website (click link in post) and is also listed in their event calendar as a public event. I attended several lectures in the past and the only thing I was asked for is to show a valid identity document at the entrance of the campus. I am planning to attend myself and will try to get more information. If I come to know about any change I will post it.

    I'll be there early today and will also post if there are any changes. Thank you for posting about the lecture in the first place, I would have never known otherwise.
