New Professors Coming for Fall 2012

Great news for the department and for you!

The Dean has recently concluded negotiations to bring two new faculty to the department next fall. Joining us will be Joseph Craig and Edward Hoang.

Of course, this means that the fall schedule (which will be made public soon) will need to change -- so keep an eye out for schedule revisions that will be coming soon.
