The Knights of St. Patrick Award nominations are also due. Several societies, including ASME, the Biodiesel Initiative, and EWB, give funding presentations. A new society, the Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers, makes a case for instatement. The meeting concludes with an EXPO co-director election and a reminder about pizza.
