  1. Hello,
    My name is Adam, and I write to you representing the University of Tennessee’s Central Program Council. I was wondering what your prices and availability were for the upcoming 2015-16 Academic year? I’m building proposals, and when I saw you had spoken at Vanderbilt, I thought there could be interest in speaking at the other Tennessee school.

    Thanks,
    -Adam
