Welcome to Sunshine Week!

As a reminder, tonight is the kickoff of our 2009 OU Sunshine Week celebration!

For you folks in Washington Hall, come down to the first floor study lounge (right off the lobby at 8 p.m. and watch the classic journalism film, "All the President's Men" based on the book of the same name.

The film follows scrappy Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein as they investigate the break-in at the Watergate complex. The investigation would ultimately lead to the impeachment of President Richard Nixon and his later resignation from office.

After the film, we will discuss the importance of open records and how the team protrayed in the film used them.

Bring friends, bring snacks, and come ready to enjoy a great movie and maybe learn a little too ;)
