Thanks to everyone who submitted; we had over 50 submissions again this semester.   If your article was not selected, don't get discouraged.   We received many good articles and it was tough to narrow it down to a slate of seven.

20 Sept 2007:  Submissions are now closed for the Fall 2007 issue.   Thanks to everyone who submitted an article, we received over 50!   Please expect to know whether you have been selected in approximately two weeks.

12 Sept 2007:  The submissions deadline is only a week away, so be sure to send in your paper.   If you have questions about submissions please check the Contributor Guidelines or email the Editor-in-Chief at oculus@virginia.edu.
