[PRL] Fwd: PhD Open House, March 23-24

[Matthias Felleisen]

I won't be around and Mitch may not be around either. Since we do  
want to attract some new blood into the lab (and too much is better  
than too little), I would like you  -- the PhD students -- pay  
special attention to the part below where Raj discusses breaks:

Please do engage the visitors here and show them what dissertation  
research we have to offer. And, fortunately, we are practicing this  
today and you can and should think of this open house as just another  
opportunity.
