the Johnny Cupcakes clothing brand. The lecture will take place at 7 p.m. in the Lender
Auditorium. The event is open to the public for a $5 entrance fee; SU students with I.D. are
free. Paid parking is available at the University Avenue Garage.
Earle's guest lecture will include information about starting a business, both Web-based and

embraces independence without the use of advertisement and outside venture capital.
