UPDATE: Newswoman Hoda Kotb, who was originally scheduled to speak on March 14 in a live interactive broadcast, is now unable to make the event do to commitments surrounding her recent adoption of a child. She will be replaced by Pulitzer prize-winning author Charles Duhigg.

Duhigg's first book, "The Power of Habit," spent 165 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and has been translated into 40 languages. His latest book, "Smarter Faster Better," explores the science of productivity and explains that how we think can be as important as what we think. His address will be seen at 5 p.m. in the CSI Fine Arts Auditorium.
