We would not have been able to do

all of this without the help of many
faculty, students, and graduates of
the program. All volunteers are
recognized on the seminar website.
I would also like to thank seminar
committee in particular for all of
their hard work in putting this
seminar together. I was thrilled to
work with such a hardworking
group of people this year.
