I wonder what hat she'll be wearing in December!

I wonder what hat she'll be wearing in December!

We have received a forward of an exciting email from a club president.  Aretha Franklin, “The Queen of Soul” will be performing on campus on December 4th as a part of “Celebration Weekend,” a “Tribute to the Transformation of Rensselaer.” The weekend also celebrates a the 10th anniversary of Dr. Jackson’s tenure at RPI. In 2008, Franklin was ranked #1 on Rolling Stone’s list of The Greatest Singers of All Time.

You could say Franklin’s paying her R-E-S-P-E-C-Ts to our fine school.

This is really exciting, more details sure to follow!
