Spring Hours Announced!

Miami Gardens- The UWC's spring hours were announced this week, and they will be the same as last semester's: M/W 10am-6pm; T/Th 1-6pm; F 10am-2pm.

Welcome to MMRW [aka the ENC 303] 2.0

I welcome all of you to the second version of ENC 303. Version 1.0 was quite successful--several professional presentations and at least one publication came from projects started in that class. I look forward to all of you making this version even better.

No one rises to low expectations.

Email from URS Coordinator

Please have your students set up their posterboards between 9:30 -2 pm on Wednesday, April 15th in the science building atrium. From 2-3:30 pm on that day, Dr. Chan and Dr. Huang will view the posterboards to choose the award winners. If your students were available during this time to answer questions, it would be to their advantage.

The Most Wonderful Time of Year

Happy Opening Day, everyone!
