Also, if you know of any students -- grad and undergrad -- who might be
interested in the Symposium, this is a great opportunity to introduce
them to conferences, especially because it's free.

Our academic sponsors include Oklahoma EPSCoR, the Oklahoma Chamber
of Commerce, and the OU Department of Information Technology, the
Ou Vice President for Research, and the OU Supercomputing Center for
Education & Research (OSCER).

And if there are colleagues or students that you think might be
