See live broadcasts when Ben Bernanke speaks at Princeton University on June 2 at 2 p.m. and David Remnick speaks on Monday, June 3.
Here is the info I got from the Princeton University publicity folks: a summary of the graduation events leading up to and including Princeton’s 266th Commencement. I have deleted mentions of how to pick up journalist credentials and, no, I don’t plan to do that myself.
The Bernanke and Remnick speeches will be simulcast on Channel 27 for Comcast subscribers and Channel 21 for Verizon FIOS subscribers. The events also are scheduled to be webcast live and archived online for later viewing at www.princeton.edu/WebMedia/.
