<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria Math",serif;color:#0B3041">Historically the University Closure has caused some challenges, especially for industry partners that want a contract finalized before the end of the year. Additionally,
with the coming New Year landing on a Wednesday, the university will not be back to top processing until Jan 6<sup>th</sup>. We would hate for any faculty to get caught in not getting needed approvals.
