This will be the final session for WES Spring 2012. We will have a presentation

to look back at all the sessions of WES, followed by an evaluation. There will be

an introduction to the current and the upcoming new WES interns and we will

end WES with a nice dinner at the garden level dining rooms. This final event for

WES Spring 2012 is open only for all the participants of WES for this semester.
