Mike Caplenor came and gave us a great presentation about security. I know several students work, or are going to work, in the health care industry and they enjoyed learning about Mike's experience in the industry. Thanks again to Mike.
The final exam is ready and we will meet in BAS S137D next Tuesday. The exams will be in the open lab area -- just grab the first pc available. I am currently reading the project II papers; they are interesting and entertaining...grades will be posted next week.
