[Academic] Impact case stidies

[Brian McNeil]

Dear All,

A Happy New Year to you all!

I note that, so far, no Impact Case studies have been submitted. I know 
you have all been thinking about this over the holidays and will be 
submitting your Impact in Progress Case Studies well before the Friday, 
Jan 22 deadline. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop by 
or send me an email.

Regards,
Brian.
