Editor's Notes
Orchestrating the inauguration - Jennifer Cully Shaw, director of the University's Office of Special Events, is comfortable with details, lots of small but important details. She and her staff of 10 can tell you, for example, how many pounds of cubed cheese a caterer considers capable of consumption by a crowd of 5,000 (answer: 550 lbs.). They know where to order maroon and white M&Ms. And they can handle a round of inaugural invitations complex enough to require printing (and keeping track of) 10 different response cards.
