As long as you're holding this event, you may want to consider commemorating the 40th anniversary of the May, 1970 strike which produced huge rallies of 5,000-7,000 students on the lawn of Mitchell Hall and eventually forced a shutdown of the campus.
This was part of one of the most significant decentralized, nation-wide social protests ever, targeting imperialism in Vietnam, murder at Kent State and Jackson State, and the subordination of the university to corporate power.
