fund in memory of the late Dr. Philip Loizou

[Ruth Litovsky <litovsky@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Please see this note from the chair of EE at UT Dallas, regarding a fund 
that is set up in honor and memory of our friend and colleague, Philip 
Loizou:


Dear All:
The Dept. of Electrical Engineering has received a number of requests 
since the passing of Prof. Philip Loizou on how to help the Loizou 
family. In talking with Demetria Loizou, she was most concerned over 
their son’s ability to go to college when he gets older. So we have 
taken steps to establish a fund for the family.

Loizou Memorial Scholarship Fund:
The EE Dept has established a scholarship fund in honor of Philip Loizou 
with all proceeds to help support Philip’s son (Costakis Loizou) for his 
future college expenses.

The following write-up was published in the IEEE Speech and Language 
Processing Newsletter (Philip was an elected member of this group a few 
years back), and will also go to several other organizations (ASA, ISCA, 
etc) who have requested additional information and ways to recognize 
Philip’s work, and help his family. It will also have link information 
for the Loizou Memorial Scholarship Fund.

Demetria Loizou and the Loizou family have asked me to pass on their 
sincere thanks for the extensive support and kind words from everyone in 
the Jonsson School and all of UTDallas.

Sincerely,
John Hansen, EE Dept. Head
