Third Annual Engineering Ball is
going to take place on February 16, 2008 and they need a band for the event!
The Society of Women Engineers is interested in hiring a band, or multiple
bands, for the occasion. They would like the music at the Ball to be by other
engineers to highlight the many talents of the faculty and/or students. If
anybody is interested in playing at the Ball or would like more information
they would love to hear from you. Please contact Jennifer Coe, with the Society

see everybody there. ---- Dear OSU students, faculty, and staff: Each year in the fall, influenza (flu) begins to spread
throughout the OSU community. The best
way to prevent the flu is to get a flu vaccination. This helps to protect a student’s educational
investment, prevent faculty and staff illness, as well as reduce risk to our
families and loved ones. In order to provide convenient and affordable access to
flu vaccinations, OSU Student Health Services will be offering a flu vaccine
clinic for OSU students, faculty and staff on Monday and Tuesday, October 22 and 23, from 10:00 a.m.
to 3:00 p.m. or until supplies are gone.
This year flu vaccine will be given at the MU in the Joyce Powell Leadership Room on the main floor, not the The cost is $15 for students and $24 for faculty and
staff. The fee will be billed directly
to Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oregon or Samaritan Select if one of them
is your insurance provider. Otherwise,
faculty and staff may pay on site by cash or check and students may elect to
bill their OSU student accounts. Please
bring your insurance card and OSU ID card.
No appointment is necessary.
Please wear clothing that allows easy access to your arm in order to expedite
the vaccinations. We hope to see you on Monday or Tuesday, October 22 or 23,
between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. --------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- CBEE CLUB CORNER ---------------------------------------------------- CBEE Tutor & Study Groups -

for COE events. Besides helping the College, volunteering is an excellent
way for students to get connected to the College, to meet people throughout the
College, to develop leadership skills, and to have fun. Our students are coming
from high schools that often have community service requirements, so they are
looking for ways to continue service. http://engr.oregonstate.edu/wme/volunteer/volviewevent.php ---- 4th Annual Scholars Recognition
