Hello students,
We'd like to connect with you on social media. It is a great way for you to be informed about the work EPICS teams are doing in the community, and to keep in touch with us after graduation. We'd love to have you all back as design reviewers when you have graduated. We also want to encourage you to send in photos and videos of your team in action so we can post them and keep our friends and alums up to speed with your work.

Important EPICS Week 9 Announcements
Hello students,
There are two very important events in this week's announcements that we can't make mandatory for the course but that, as EPICS students, you are expected to attend if at all possible. First, the DKC team's 1000 Videos for the Deaf campaign kickoff is April 2nd, and you should all come out and support your fellow EPICS team by attending this fun event. Secondly, the EPICS Awards Open-House is going to be a big celebration and students from every team will be recognized, so please show up to support your classmates (who knows, you may even win an award). Thank you all for your hard work the first half of this semester, and I'm looking forward to seeing the delivery checklists start rolling in.
Best, Andrew
