Academics
ÀϾÅÆ·²è Provost Russell L. Moore today announced the appointment of Leslie Reynolds as the interim dean of University Libraries.
The ÀϾÅÆ·²è is one of only two academic institutions to contribute expertise, testing and refinements to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC's) newly-launched, experimental licensing system for wireless research. The online system, which helps qualified programs and researchers acquire experimental licenses in a matter of days rather than months, is the only one of its kind worldwide and clears the way for more innovative wireless research in the U.S.
With the end of the semester in view, there is still time to refine your study and test-taking skills. The Academic Skills Program is offering several workshops on study skills and finals preparation over the next couple of weeks. All of the workshops are free and open to all ÀϾÅÆ·²è students.
