Hello, Raiders!

This is Sahiba Gaba and Sumesh Muvvala, your newsletter friends. Sumesh and I have been working hard each week to get interesting and important information to you in a fun way. We hope you liked our work! It has been great working with the UCIE office this past year.

Unfortunately, our journey with the UCIE comes to end as we are graduating. It was a great opportunity to be a part of this team, and show our creativity by working on these weekly newsletters.

If you like our spotlight section and would like to be a part of it, make sure to send your spotlight to askucie@wright.edu.

Hopefully, your next newsletter people do a good job as we did haha!

Happy Holidays :)
