A WARM WELCOME to Denise Branam, our new Fiscal Coordinator. Denise previously worked in Business Affairs, beginning in Travel and soon moved to processing payables transactions. She became an Accountant I, then Assistant Payables Manager, and next moved to Finance Accounting & Analysis. Denise enjoys stained glass art projects, woodworking, gardening, home improvement projects, and her black lab. Denise’s phone number is 737-5433.

CCE GRADUATION CELEBRATION – all graduates (including Summer or Fall ’08) are invited to participate in our School’s ceremony. Please RSVP here.

IT'S ALMOST TIME FOR DA VINCI DAYS in Corvallis, a festival celebrating arts and technology. Lots of food and music too!  We are looking volunteers for a few hours with events to help introduce kids to engineering.  The more volunteers we can get the more events we can have going. Activities include "ZOOM into Engineering" (Egg Bungee Jump, Gumdrop Dome, Hoop Glider, etc.) and Tsunami Proof Lego Structures. It's fun!  The dates are July 19th/ 20th (Sat/Sun). Anyone who is able to help, few hours or all day, please contact one of the ASCE Activities chairs (Royal Mortier or Helen Wu) in the next two weeks to let us know you're interested. Hope to see you there having a good time and helping get kids interested in science and engineering!
