3-4:15 p.m., Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Dean is the former governor of Vermont and a 2004 Democratic presidential candidate who is credited as the first candidate to use the Internet effectively.

Students from George Mason, Denver and Pace universities participate in the two-way, live video conferences. The Dean session will be televised and streamed on C-SPAN3 Friday at 5 p.m. Sessions are also archived online.

1. This looks like the same day, but a different symposium

Confusing, must be two different forums, same day??

"Howard Dean, Edward James Olmos added to Milton S. Eisenhower symposium

Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean and actor Edward James Olmos have been added to the roster of speakers at the Milton S. Eisenhower Symposium, held each year on the Homewood campus.

Dean will talk on Thursday, Oct. 11, and Olmos on Thursday, Nov. 8. Also speaking this week are Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, on Wednesday, Oct. 10, and actor Danny Glover, on Friday, Oct. 12. All lectures begin at 8 p.m. in Shriver Hall Auditorium.

After seeking the Democratic nomination for president in 2004, Dean founded Democracy for America, a group that works to elect fiscally responsible and socially progressive candidates to all levels of government. He was elected to his post with the DNC in 2005. Before entering politics, the former Vermont governor practiced internal medicine in Shelburne, Vt.

Actor, producer and director Olmos participates in many humanitarian efforts, including serving as the executive director of the Lives in Hazard Educational Project, a national gang-prevention program funded by the Department of Justice. The HBO film "Walkout," which Olmos directed, will be screened before his talk."
