WHAT:             A panel discussion titled "Breaking the Boundaries
                  in Business, Education and Art" moderated by
                  renowned journalist Christopher Lydon. The panel
                  will follow the dedication of the Peter B. Lewis
                  Building, the new home of the Weatherhead School of
                  Management at Case Western Reserve University.

                  Lydon has been an unconventional voice in print and
                  broadcast journalism for more than 30 years,
                  covering presidential politics in the Washington
                  bureau of the New York Times; anchoring the Ten
                  O'Clock News on WGBH, public television in Boston;
                  and as the founder and host of "The Connection" at
                  WBUR since 1994. According to the Boston Globe,
                  Lydon "blends the expansiveness of the Renaissance
                  thinker with a trademark Boston toughness."
