Today Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas will make an appearance from 4 to 5 p.m. in the Chiles Center. He will speak with professors Gary Malecha and Bill Curtis in this Garaventa Center sponsored event. The event is free and open to the public as well as all of the UP community.
Tickets are not required, but the Garaventa Center urges people to arrive up to half-an-hour early to line up since the doors will close once the Chiles Center is filled to capacity.
According to a student announcement by Associate Vice President for University Relations Laurie Kelley, the university is expecting more than 1,000 people to be in attendance.
Thomas will also attend UP’s Red Mass at 5:30 p.m. in the Chapel of Christ the Teacher along with the current Archbishop of Portland Alexander K. Sample. The Red Mass is a Mass celebrated annually in the Catholic Church for the legal community. The Mass is also free and open to the public.
