Spring '97
Brown Bag Lectures

You are invited to "lunch and learn" with your campus colleagues during the GVU Brown Bag Lecture Series. This is your opportunity to hear about new and exciting research in graphics, visualization, usability and related topics. And it's our opportunity to share GVU news, as well as providing faculty and graduate students an informal, mutually-supportive environment in which to discuss on-going research, "dry-run" conference talks or present dissertation proposals. Tentative speakers and topics for this quarter are listed below. For more information call Elaine Swobe at 404/894-9392 or send email to elaine@gvu.gatech.edu.
