ANNOUNCEMENTS
--------------------
CONGRATULATIONS to LEW SEMPRINI – who was awarded the title of ‘distinguished professor'. Lew is the first recipient within the College of Engineering to receive this award, for his ‘international stature as a result of contributions to scholarship/creative activity, research, education, and service, and whose work has been notably influential in their fields of specialization'. See the list of recipients since 1988.

DAN COX and his researchers are re-creating the tourist center of Seaside at a 50th of the actual size. Read the on-going Seaside tsunami research in the Gazette Times and watch the KATU video.

CHASE MCQUILLEN was selected to the Collegiate All-Americans rugby squad made up of the nation's best collegiate rugby players. Chase was selected after the USA Rugby National Collegiate All-Star Championship games in Rochester, NY last week. The All-Americans will compete in a two-match series against the Canadian Under-21 Team in Toronto, Canada on June 27, and two other well-matched international squads in a round-robin style competition. Go Chase!

VALLEY LIBRARY DESKTOP COMPUTERS on the second floor will NOT be available between 6/18/07 through 7/13/07. The network infrastructure is being re-wired to expand and speed up internet access. The wireless network will be operational and there are 50 laptops that can be checked out to registered OSU students from the Circulation Desk. Computer access for OSU students is also available at the Milne Student Computing Lab.

CONGRATULATIONS to the recipients or our CCEE Outstanding Student Award, announced at the Graduation Celebration last week in the LaSells Stewart Center. This annual award is given to a student that best exemplifies the knowledge, skills, abilities, attitude and work ethic expected of graduating senior. Faculty from each of the three discipline areas nominate and award a deserving student with an engraved plaque. This year's honor goes to Kelsey Edwardsen (CE), Amanda Ring (CEM), and Ian Maguire (EnvE).

Our GRADUATION CELEBRATION at LaSells was a huge success, with over 700 people attending. Thanks to Jan Strombeck for coordinating the event, and to all the faculty and staff for their support. And a huge THANKS to Ken Williamson on his last civil/construction graduation ceremony.
