    Indeed, it's official. EECS has made GRE-blind graduate admissions permanent. This policy was first implemented for the 2020 season. cc: @Cal_Engineer @BerkeleyDataSci
    And EECS @UCBerkeley just voted to drop the GRE from use in grad admissions. Proud of these steps toward diversity.

    Over Thanksgiving break, some students got together for a Friendsgiving, and decided to do something about all the leftover printed circuit boards (PCBs) from past projects that their lab has accumulated. This is the result! Does it deserve a permanent spot on the wall?

    Professor Emeritus of EECS & Mathematics Elwyn Berlekamp passed away on April 9th. He was Chair of EECS from 1977-79 and left an enormous legacy in the department's Computer Science Division which is still felt today. He will be dearly missed. @Cal_Engineer @UCBLettersSci
