Incoming IPaT director (and outgoing GVU director) Beth Mynatt will discuss IPaT, it\u0027s relationship to the GVU Center, and how the presence of this new institute on campus will expand the opportunities and resources available for GVU faculty and students.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EPlease join us this Thursday for a Town Hall meeting to discuss these exciting opportunities.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"27197","created_gmt":"2011-01-24 10:15:17","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:53:56","author":"Renata Le Dantec","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2011-02-03T11:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2011-02-03T12:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2011-02-03T12:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2011-02-03 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2011-02-03 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2011-02-03 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":["free_food"],"groups":[{"id":"1299","name":"GVU Center"},{"id":"47223","name":"College of Computing"},{"id":"50876","name":"School of Interactive Computing"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"4096","name":"brown bag"},{"id":"1946","name":"GVU"},{"id":"5743","name":"GVU Brown Bag"},{"id":"11726","name":"Institute for People and Technology"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
