1. Tickets for Mission Week keynote speaker available Monday

Tickets to attend the Mission Week keynote presentation by Enron whistleblower Lynn Brewer are available beginning Monday, Jan. 22. The tickets are free, with a limit of two per MU ID. Tickets will be available in Brooks Lounge on the lower level of the Alumni Memorial Union from noon to 11:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 2 to 11:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday while available. Brewer will speak on Thursday, Feb. 8, at 4 p.m. in the Varsity Theatre.

Lynn Brewer, former Enron executive and whistleblower on corporate corruption, personifies this year’s Mission Week theme of “Challenged to Choose: the Courage to Act.” During her tenure at Enron, where she was responsible for risk management in energy operations, e-commerce for Enron’s water subsidiary and competitive intelligence for broadband services, she witnessed illegal and corrupt dealings including bank fraud, espionage, power price manipulation and gross overstatements to the media, public and financial world. Since leaving Enron, she became the founding chairman and CEO of The Integrity Institute, which independently assesses and certifies corporate integrity at the request of organizations for the benefit of their stakeholders.

Mission Week, Feb. 2-10, 2007, focuses on the ethical dimensions of our decisions as we manifest our core values of Faith, Excellence, Leadership and Service. For more information about Mission Week events, go online.
