Actually, I should be more specific. We know that Jimmy got paid to do this gig — he’d have no reason to visit Denison otherwise, The question is how did the University Programming Council, the Spectrum Series, the Communication department, and the Entrepreneurship club split what must have been a hefty bill?

I wonder how much Jimmy Wales was paid to come to Denison University and be charming to the co-eds. Or, is that information secret, like the amount paid by the Wikimedia Foundation to Q2 Consulting on a research contract that had no competitive bidding?

I was so happy that Mr. Wales answered my question about his thoughts on Wikipedia as a citable source in the academic setting. Hearing his answer makes a lot of sense.

Jimmy Wales was not only such a great speaker but a really nice person to talk to. I’m really glad that Swasey was FULL on a Wednesday night in this crazy week right before finals.
Thanks to all the collaborative work of UPC, the Spectrum Series, the Communication department, and the Entrepreneurship club, the event was a huge success! I’m proud be to have helped organize a phenomenal lecture in Denison history!
Thanks to the DEN for covering this event!

I am so happy that I was able to be a part of this event. This kind of event–one arranged by faculty, staff, and students that speaks to our collective intellects, experiences, and hopes is what I love about Denison. I am so proud of the University Programming Council, the Spectrum Series, the Entrepreneurship Club, and the Communication Department. Thank you for your effort and involvement!

This was such an excellent collaboration among faculty, staff and students. Jimmy was a gracious campus visitor and it was excellent that he was willing to do class visits and a luncheon with students as well. I found the entire day to be engaging and interesting. Congratulations to the University Programming Council, the Spectrum Series, Communication Department and the Entrepreneurship Club.
