If any of you former students would like to return to Minnesota, or current students thinking about sticking around, here is one means of doing that. They say "graduate degree" as qualification, which I would assume means MS or PhD.
I visited Thomson this last year, and I think I might have even sent a note or two to this list describing the experience, so dig around the archives for that if you wish (or let me know, I can tell you more even if I didn't send a note to this list).
