in focus
Dear Fellow Members and Friends of MetSoc:
George Demopoulos
Past President and Founding Editor
Here is the second issue of our all new e-newsletter, mlink!
The mission of mlink is to connect MetSoc to its diverse membership and wider
national and international metallurgical and materials community. The focus
of this issue is the smashing success (over 1000 delegates) of our
COM 2007 meeting that hosted
Cu2007 with its associated
Metal Trade Show in
Toronto and our 2007
Award recipients. Joel Kapusta and Chris Twigge-Molecey, Chairs respectively
of COM 2007 and
Cu2007, are thanked for
this great success as they are the co-sponsoring international societies:
IIMCh (Chile),
GDMB (Germany),
MMIJ (Japan),
TMS and
SME (USA).
Recognition of excellence is one of the "raisons d’ętre" of our Society.
We are pleased to recognize in this issue the
2007 MetSoc Award
recipients. A Call for Nominations
for the 2008 Awards has been issued. Please visit the
RECOGNITION OF EXCELLENCE
page for more details.
MetSoc remains committed to continue offering world-class relevant technical
programming and publications. Please refer to the MEETINGS pages of the newsletter
for the planned
COM 2008 Meeting in Winnipeg and the Call for Papers. Under
PUBLICATIONS you will find
info on the new
Copper 2007 books and some of the papers scheduled to be published in
the next issue(s) of CMQ-MetSoc’s
flagship journal.
One of the missions for our Society is to continue attracting students
to our meetings and our profession in general by offering distinct advantages
to them. Some of these advantages are: support for field trips, recognition
in the form of scholarships and awards and last but not least opportunities
for networking with fellow students in other Universities and professionals
in our industry. Please visit the STUDENTS pages for more information.
All our Society’s activities (annual COMs and other meetings, publications
etc) are organized by volunteers with the help of three dedicated staff members.
It is through our Technical Sections that these activities are discussed and
planned. Why don’t you consider joining the Section that best meets your interests?
Please refer to our website (www.metsoc.org)
under
“About MetSoc/Board of Directors” for contact and other information.
Stay connected!
Ronona Saunders , our e-newsletter coordinator and I will be pleased to
hear your comments and suggestions. Thank you.
