Dear Ole Miss Civil Engineering Alumni and Friends,
 
At the invitation of Ole Miss Civil Engineering Department, the ASCE Mississippi Chapter will host its spring meeting at Oxford on April 21-22, 2005. Please see message below and the attachment for more detail.
 
The Ole Miss CE department has very strong presence in the meeting in the following way: 1. A number of papers will be presented by our faculty, adjunct faculty, graduate and undergraduate students. 2. A number of papers are invited by our faculty to form special sessions. 3. A number of other presenters are our alums.
 
By this email, I invite you to come to this meeting to meet with faculty, students, and alumni. The paper presentation will take place on April 22, Friday.
 
By this email I also like to invite you to another function of this meeting. On April 21, Thursday, there is a conference dinner. I have arranged the dinner to be catered by Abbeville Catfish at 6:30 pm on the Circle, in front of Carrier Hall, at $15 a head. I will do the following:
 
1. Invite all our graduate and undergraduate students and faculty to the dinner to meet with the professionals.
 
2. The department will pay for all graduating students (May and August graduates) so this will be a send-off party for them.
 
Whether you want to participate the conference next day or not, I invite you to this dinner to meet with our graduating seniors and graduate students.
 
If you would join us, please utilize the attached registration form to directly register with ASCE. (Please watch the April 8 deadline.) At the same time, please drop me a note so I can have a idea about the alumni participation.
 
I look forward to seeing you in Oxford.
 
Best wishes,
 
Alex Cheng

All:

 

I’m pleased to announce that ASCE’s North Mississippi Branch will be hosting the spring Section meeting this year.  The meeting will be held at the Oxford Conference Center (OCC), in Oxford, MS, on Thursday and Friday, April 21 and 22, 2005.  I anticipate that the Section office will be mailing a newsletter and announcement soon, with additional information.

 

We’ll start Thursday evening with a social get-together, a catfish supper at The Circle on the Ole Miss campus.  We have a full schedule of speakers planned at the OCC on Friday.  Exhibitors will also be on site Friday.  A schedule of presentations is included as an attachment.

 

A registration form is also included as an attachment.  Please register as soon as possible, so we can plan our meals accordingly (Thursday supper and Friday luncheon). 

 

Additional information is available at the Mississippi Section Website:  http://www.msasce.com/

 

I hope to see you there.

 

Pete
