                                                 Erratum: On page 12 of the Dec. 2018 issue of GSA Today, GSA Honorary Fellow
                                                 Bishal Upreti was noted to have been rector of Tribhuvan University. In fact, he
                                                 was only acting rector for a short period. GSA regrets this error.
