| Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide support to The Ohio State University (OSU) welding engineering students and faculty, and to promote professional development and fellowship among OSU welding engineering graduates. 2009 AWS LUNCHEON AND ANNUAL MEETING AWS is in Chicago next year (November 15-18). We have a date for the luncheon that does not compete with the Counselors/Fellows Luncheon or the AWS Awards Luncheon. Date: Wednesday - November 18, 2009 Time: TBD Location: TBD 2009 FOOTBALL TICKETS
Good news! We have tickets for two games this year, one home and one away. We have tickets for OSU vs USC at home and OSU vs Toledo at Cleveland. Now for the sobering news: Since there are likely to be more requests than tickets for USC, we will be conducting a lottery and enforcing the STRICT guidelines that the OSU Alumni Association has given us for the USC game.
Because there are only two home games before the students arrive back on campus, many alumni will not get tickets at all this year. That is why we are enforcing the stringent rules. You wouldn’t be happy if you got zero tickets and you found out someone else was able to score six or more to a home game. Last year, in 2008, the Alumni Association was allocated 88,000 tickets. This year, 2009, they are only getting 60,500 tickets.
But, checking some other Big Ten schools, Penn State gives zero tickets to members of it’s alumni association and that school up north <spit> only gives 1000 tickets per game to it’s alumni (not that Brad cares). The Alumni Association is looking toward 2010 as having more tickets available for alums. We at Welding Engineering will continue to try to bring quality games to you. Let Brad Reed know what other events you would like to see, or more importantly, would be willing to help with.

OSUWE DEPARTMENT NEWS Department Moving from IWSE to MSE I'd like to take this opportunity to draw your attention to an important change that is currently under consideration and would impact the WE program at OSU. The College of Engineering is examining a potential reorganization of its programs and departments. As a result, we are investigating the possibility of moving the WE program to the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. If this move were to take place, the Welding Engineering Program would move as an intact unit from the IWSE Department into the MSE Department. The students would still be working toward their degrees in "Welding Engineering" -- that's not changing. The primary result of this move would be that the program would be administered by the MSE department rather than by the IWSE department. A few of you have already asked us to consider such a transition. I my opinion -- the timing on this could also help to protect the program during the coming years, which are likely to be somewhat turbulent. As we work through our review of this possibility, it would be very helpful to receive your input on the matter. If you have a few minutes, and wouldn't mind sending me your thoughts on the matter -- I'd really like to hear from you. Thanks in advance,

Online WE Masters Program According to Prof. Lippold, the distance learning education program continues to be very successful and there are currently more on-line. Masters students than on-campus Masters students. If you haven't pursued that Masters yet, this is an excellent option for someone working full.
