Intel Foundation Awards Two Fellowships to GVU Students

For the second year in a row, the Intel Foundation has awarded not one but two fellowships to PhD candidates in the GVU Center. The winners of the prestigious Intel Fellowships for 1997-98 are James O'Brien and Gary Boone, both from the College of Computing. This annual award has been part of an ongoing relationship with Intel since 1991, the year the GVU Center was founded. We are proud that the quality of GVU applicants was such that, again this year, Intel has awarded fellowships to two outstanding students.
