Watt's Up College of Optical Sciences News for Thursday, August 17, 2006
We Welcome Two New Faculty Members to Optical Sciences
Grad Students: The Last Day to Sign Up for Fall Prelims is August 28 If you plan to take Prelims this fall, please go to the Academic Programs office to sign up NOW. Prelims are scheduled for September 19 and 20, so there's still plenty of time to prepare. There is no penalty for changing your mind later, so if you decide to wait until spring, all you have to do is return to the Academic Programs Office and cross your name off the list.
Happy Birthday
