My students,

I just got this email from the chair of the UT IEEE student branch,
asking if I would forward this to all of you.  I am happy to do it.
I have no experience with it, but if it is helpful to you, I am happy
to be a conduit for it. 

If you do use it, and wish to let me know how useful it is, I would
be interested in hearing.

Good luck with the rest of the semester.

See you on Zoom in a few minutes.

Yale Patt
