Were you excited for a big-name, university sponsored speaker to visit campus this year?

Hate to burst your bubble, but it’s not likely to happen.

Central Michigan University officials have confirmed that the Speaker Series will not be bringing anyone for the 2008-2009 school year.

“Probably not this year,” said University Events Director Bob Ebner. “It takes a couple months to prepare and promote them and coordinate with faculty.”
