on their successful proposals.

They faced very stiff competition, and unfortunately we had to 
turn down a number of very good proposals.  Perhaps we should 
have been more greedy and asked for six or seven slots.

I hope the community will extend a warm welcome to these 
students, and we welcome all of your efforts in helping these 
students achieve success in the coming months.

Finally, thanks to all our mentors who put in hours of work in 
evaluating the proposals to this point.
