We are pleased to announce that NJIT has formally become a DIMACS affiliate partner institution. To celebrate this occasion, NJIT will host a joint DIMACS/NJIT Mixer to introduce new DIMACS members from NJIT to the rest of the DIMACS community. At the same time, the event will give the entire community a chance to learn what DIMACS is up to and to reconnect with DIMACS people.

The event features invited talks from Prof. Jeannette Wing (Columbia University) and Dean Craig Gotsman (NJIT), as well as two-minute "lightning" presentations by NJIT and DIMACS members who wish to present their current research interests. A reception will follow.

Event parking is in the STPG Parking Deck at 42 Wilsey Street. The NJIT campus map can be found here.

We look forward to seeing you at NJIT.
