Would those full-time PhD students who would like to be considered for an assistantship but will be beyond the three years of initial funding please contact me and let me know by Friday, March 6? In addition to giving me your name, can you let me know when you advanced or plan to advance to candidacy? Thanks, Steve Barnes -- Steven A.
