Dear All, Last week, we had two major School events of the fall semester - the OChE event and the IAC meeting. They involved the active participation of many faculty, staff and students. All the alumni/visitors mentioned to me how much they were impressed by the events, as well as our people, programs, facilities and plans for the future. I am writing to thank you for your participation in last week's events and for what you do on a daily basis. With best wishes, Arvind Arvind Varma R.
