I was a member of the planning committee for this event. My main role was to organize the opening night reception. I worked with colleagues from the Library and student members of the local chapter of REFORMA, of which I was president, to plan the logistics and serve as hosts. It was a very successful and fun evening, with live music and plenty of food and drink.

The following photos were taken during the opening reception of the Institute. I worked with members of the Library staff to host this event in Special Collections.
