DIMACS Mixer Series - October 14, 2005

Stevens Institute of Technology, Castle Point on Hudson

Bissinger Room, 4th floor, Howe Center, Hoboken, NJ 

The DIMACS Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer
Science invites you to its Fall Mixer series. All DIMACS members,
visitors, postdocs, students and guests are invited to join us Friday,
October 14, 2005 at Stevens Institute. The purpose of this mixer
program is to introduce new postdocs, graduate students and DIMACS
visitors to each other, to DIMACS visitors and postdocs from the
different DIMACS institutions.

This particular mixer is the first to be held at Stevens, which has
been an affiliated member of DIMACS since January 2005, so it has the
additional purpose of introducing the DIMACS community to the Stevens
community.  All members of the Stevens community are welcome to
attend.  If you would like lunch, please RSVP to Maria Sohor
(sohor@dimacs.rutgers.edu) by October 11, 2005 so we can make sure to
have enough food.

I hope to see you there.

Regards,
Rebecca Wright
