March 2005

We would like to get the club involved in meaningful activities.  UPE Leadership has discussed the following possibilities:

• The new Kelly Building will NOT include a library.  Dr. Bose and Dr. Cull discussed the possibility of UPE maintaining the CS Library here in Dearborn after the move to Kelly.
• The graduation ceremony for the school of EECS has only been in existence for the past few years.  Currently the leadership of ACM is in charge of the ceremony.  Many of them are graduating this year, and the president of the student chapter of ACM has approached Ron Bjarnason about UPE involvement in the future.
• Dr. Cull and Ron Bjarnason have discussed reintroducing Doughnut Hour to the CS Department.  This was a weekly tradition up to a few years ago.  Since then, no one has been willing to head this endeavor.

These are just a few possibilities of ways our club can get more involved in meaninful activities.  If you would like to be involved in any of these projects, or have good ideas for other projects, you can email them to the club email list at:    upe [at] eecs.orst.edu
