Early Closure Today for Obama Visit
With the University of Arizona preparing for a visit from President Barack Obama this evening, employees not involved in the event have been authorized to leave early.
Obama will speak at 6 p.m. at the "Together We Thrive: Tucson and America" event at McKale Memorial Center. (Details about the event are available in the UANews story "President Obama to Speak at UA.")
