This week we have lost several lab buddies due to school starting. Until further notice, MSEE will not have lab buddies available on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Two people must be present at all times to do any chemical processing. This will hopefully be fixed by next weekend. Thanks, Dave Lubelski

Thank you, Cheryl Butz (49095) MEMORANDUM TO: Deans, Directors of Discovery Park Centers and Engagement Council FROM: Vic L. Lechtenberg, Vice Provost for Engagement DATE: August 17, 2006 RE: Purdue's Center for Regional Development Conference Dear Colleague By now, you are probably aware of the September 6-7 inaugural conference of Purdue's Center for Regional Development (PCRD) titled Regional Development for Local Success: Innovations in Economic Development and Governance. http://www.purdue.edu/pcrd/pcrdconference/Index.htm http://www.purdue.edu/pcrd/pcrdconference/PCRD%20Conference%20Agenda%20f or%20Website.htm As Co-Director of the PCRD and Vice Provost for Engagement I am pleased to provide you or your designee with a complimentary registration to this important conference. This conference is very important in raising awareness within Indiana of how a regional approach to many of our crucial statewide and national priorities is of utmost importance. The conference also provides an opportunity for our campus colleagues to reflect on how their work relates to this framework and to be challenged and informed by some of the best thinkers within the state and nation. Finally, this is an excellent opportunity to showcase any work or programs within your unit that may be relevant to the conference and attendees. A limited amount of display space is available should you want to take advantage of this opportunity. Please let Kelli Slack (kslack(a)purdue.edu) know by Aug. 28 whether or not you will be using the complimentary registration I am providing.....or, if you have designated its use by someone else within your unit. Thank you for your interest and participation. I look forward to seeing you on September 6.
