Thursday May 3rd, 2007 from 3pm to 6pm in ZML 201.

Please join us for the IMD Class of 2008 Wrap-Up at the ZML. Students will be showing their final projects, a few SenseCam projects, tying up loose ends and generally raising a ruckus. This will be your last chance to experience these students before they fall into the third-year abyss. Cheap refreshments will most likely be provided.
