MEMS On Display
MEMS has the display in one of the three vitrines in the lobby of
Turlington Hall. Stop by to admire it! We are hoping to have some
brochures available later this year.
We will have the case for as long as a year, so if you have suggestions
for changes or additions to the display, please let Judy Shoaf know.
