It's Pat!

This weekend I have a big work thing. No big deal - it just involves scheduling a ton of "professionals" to share their wisdom with students. Thank goodness, I have someone else to do the scheduling - I just do the organizing. Enough background -

Yesterday we sent out the pamphlet detailing the schedule of the conference and providing the bios of the professionals. An astute professional contacted my assistant stating,

"I looked over the pamphlet, and it all looks fine, at least with regard to me. However, the other person on the panel, ___, is listed as a he. Unless I am completely mistaken about who ___ is, she might be a little upset at being listed as a he. I don't know if it is too late to check that and change it if necessary, but if so, it might be worth doing."

Whoops. At least it's not too late to change it. But that's what sometimes happens when a) you have an "ambiguous" first name and b) we aren't going off a picture. Although in the case of "Pat" it probably wouldn't have helped us.
