From Dr. Grant:
“Just a quick reminder that Project Showcase for IDT 7095/8095 students is on Thursday, April 19, 2012 at 6:00 pm in Room 320 of Ball Hall on the University of Memphis campus. And that’s just 1 week away!!! If you are a current IDT student, I highly recommend attending the showcase so you can see the quality of work required and the type of presentations that are given (in addition to tasting the great food we offer).”
