[CTN] CTN seminar: Joel Zylberberg (York): 3:30 Tuesday March 12, E5-6111

[Bryan Tripp]

Hi everyone,

Pardon me, I forgot to mention that as usual, CTN grad students are invited
to lunch with the speaker. If you are interested, please meet around the
Touchdown room in the CTN area of E7 by 11:35.

If you have any questions, Shamak Dutta is organizing lunch this time (
s7dutta at uwaterloo.ca). He will arrive in E7 with the speaker around 11:35,
and everyone can leave from there as a group.

Regards,
Bryan
