Magpie ~ When I'm Gone

Magpie - Greg Artzner and Terry Leonino - http://www.magpiemusic.com -performed at the 2011 WPI counter-commencement - https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=179629662085892 - produced by a concerned student collective that calls itself "ExxonMobil Doesn't Speak for Me".

"Richard Heinberg, the Senior Fellow-in-Residence of the Post Carbon Institute, will be speaking as a counterpoint speaker to the official speaker, Rex Tillerson, the CEO of ExxonMobil.

"Many of the students graduating this year find that Exxon's disinformation campaign and its efforts to undermine Americans' trust in their scientific institutions are entirely incompatible with their values and their future careers. Many students have elected to sit-out from Rex Tillerson's speech, and will be joining the rest of the commencement celebration afterwards. Instead, these students will be well-wished into their career by Richard Heinberg's speech, that afternoon.

"The university has agreed to support the event. Richard Heinberg will be speaking on the WPI Main Quad stage (where the official ceremony is situated) at 3 PM. Parents, students, members of the community at large: all are welcome to come hear him speak.
