speakers

Due to high demand for tickets and in response to continued public interest in the “Common Ground for Peace” symposium featuring His Holiness the Dalai Lama, spiritual leader of Tibet, Syracuse University will now webcast the two panel discussions live on Monday, Oct. 8.

The symposium convenes international thought leaders and the SU campus in critical conversations about how to shift global consciousness toward matters of peace, and is a separate event from the public talk and One World Concert on Tuesday, Oct. 9, in the Carrier Dome.

Tickets are still required to attend each of the “Common Ground for Peace” sessions occurring on Monday, Oct. 8, in Goldstein Auditorium, Schine Student Center. Only ticketholders with tickets specifically issued for each session will be admitted. All tickets have been distributed and tickets are not interchangeable between sessions.

For those without tickets, a live webcast of the panel discussions will be available at oneworld.syr.edu/webcast. Streaming is provided by Ustream, a leading live interactive broadcast platform.

Participation in the Oct. 8 panels is as follows:
