Glad to see the following email in my inbox.

Directors of Graduate Programs,

I am pleased to announce the winners of the 12th Annual Graduate Student Research Symposium! Please see attached. As you know, the Symposium was held yesterday, Wednesday, March 22. Poster presentations were divided into eight broad academic categories. Judges selected a first, second and third place winner in each category.

The abstract book is posted on the Symposium web site at grad.ncsu.edu/research/symposium.

We will announce the winners on the web and through other means as well...but I wanted to send you this information as soon as possible.

Please join me in congratulating all of our winners!

Thanks!

Dave
