Tickets for First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton's speech commemorating the end of the University's 1997-98 Year of Humanities and Arts will be available beginning April 22.
The tickets will be available to University community members from April 22-24.
University seniors will be given first priority and tickets will be distributed beginning April 22.
"Seniors are leaving campus and this would be a nice event for them to attend," said Kim Clark, assistant to the vice president for University relations.
Clinton is scheduled to speak at 2 p.m. April 28 at Hill Auditorium. Admission to the speech is free, but attendees must obtain tickets.
Clark said that about 2,000 tickets will be set aside for University students.
"We expect there will be a lot of interest, but it's also finals week," Clark said.
All students will be able to reserve tickets April 23.
Faculty and staff tickets will be available beginning Friday, April 24.
Students, staff and faculty are limited to one ticket per person, and University identification is required to receive tickets.
Tickets will be available to the general public as of April 25 and limited to four tickets per person. The general public may reserve tickets by phone. Students, faculty and staff will be able to procure excess tickets after April 25.
The MUBO will be open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m. to noon on Saturdays.
No plan has been outlined should student demand for tickets exceed the amount set aside, Clark said.
"We're going to play it by ear in that respect," Clark said.
Remaining tickets will be made available at the Hill Auditorium Box Office beginning at 10 a.m. the morning of the speech.
