> Dear friends and colleagues in LAS, AIS, Women> '> s Studies and
Faculty and Staff for Peace and Justice,
>
> Thank you very much for coming to the Rigoberta Menchú Tum live web
cast on Friday. Between the two rooms that we reserved about 90 people
that came to the event.
>
> Unfortunately, despite all of our organization and even though
Learning and Technology Services was there to facilitate the technology
side of the web cast, the video/web stream did not work. Somewhere
between Milwaukee, Madison and Eau Claire, the technology failed us.
LTS tried many times to remedy the problem, but ultimately the web
stream did not improve.
>
> Rigoberta Menchú Tum is a powerful speaker and an important world
leader, and it is unfortunate that you did not have the opportunity to
hear her speak. I would like to apologize for the inconvenience and any
disappointment that you may have.
>
> The Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at UW-M has
indicated that it will make available a video tape of the event. I will
send out an announcement in a few weeks with information on another
viewing.

> Sincerely,
>
