CCM 35th Anniversary Events
The following provides a brief overview of some of the events held in conjunction
with CCM’s 35th anniversary celebratioin.

• On September 14th, an afternoon reception was held at the Composites Manufacturing Science Laboratory. This was an ideal opportunity for participants to reconnect with fellow alumni and friends, faculty, and professional staff members as well as to network.  A CCM overview and tours of our labs, all of which have been renovated over the past five years, were held.  A poster session was also held to provide a forum to learn more about our research activities and meet the current group of CCM alums.
  
  
• A symposium honoring Professor Tsu-Wei Chou for his 40 years of service to the University and his pioneering contributions to composites science and technology during that period was held on September 15th during the ASC Conference, which included invited presentations by international experts in the field of composites science. 
  
  
• As a special event of the Technical Conference, CCM presented the Medal of Excellence in Composites at the ASC Conference banquet on Septemer 16th.  The medal recognizes those who have maintained and demonstrated scholarly endeavor, invention, and/or economic enterprise over a sustained period of time, in relation to the field of composites.
