Fwd: Carnegie Mellon University- Junior Summer Fellowship

[Victor Norman]

Students,

Below you will find an excellent opportunity for next summer.  Carnegie
Mellon University is one of the "Big 3" in Computer Science, along with MIT
and Stanford.  If you can get into this program (and many of you should be
able to), this would be a real boost to any resume.  I encourage you to
apply for this.

Prof. Norman
