CHAIRMAN'S COLUMN

This is the last week of classes, so best wishes go out to our students as they prepare for final exams taking place next week.

This year, we continue the tradition of ECE Graduate Student Recruiting Weekend on April 1-2, 2005, when we will invite all our admitted students to visit the department.

A reminder to our faculty that next Monday (March 14) at 1:30 is the quarterly meeting of the McCormick faculty.
