This is final exam week at Northwestern with the holiday break starting next week. This is the last ECEnews for 2004. Best wishes to our students for success on their exams.

On Wednesday, December 8, the ECE Department will hold its Faculty and Staff Holiday Luncheon to celebrate the end of the year and show our appreciation to the outstanding staff members who make the department run smoothly and efficiently.

Best wishes to everyone for joyous holidays and a very Happy New Year.
