This week we will present the first of the Motorola Distinguished Lecture Series for the 2001-02 academic year. Our visitor is Professor Thomas S. Huang from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign who will visit with us on Tuesday, October 30, 2001. He is the recipient of numerous awards and is a Member of the National Academy of Engineering. Please plan to meet with him and attend his lecture at 4:00 pm.
As we have been updating our enrollment data for 2001-02, we were pleased to find that the number of freshman students who declared Electrical Engineering (36) or Computer Engineering (33) as their major is the highest in some time and they comprise almost 20% of the McCormick freshman population. We can only assume that the revisions of our undergraduate curricula are responsible for such a response.
Finally, a reminder to our faculty that this week is advising week for advance registration for the Winter quarter.
