Please note that although we had planned to host this event at Saint Arnold's new location downtown, it will now be held at their current (old) location on Fairway Park Drive.

Guest speaker:
Dr. Wade Adams
Director, Smalley Institute for Nanoscale Science and Technology
Rice University

"2010: The Year of Nano! --
Nanotechnology News from the
Smalley Institute at Rice"

October 2010 will mark the 25th anniversary of the discovery of the "buckyball" (carbon-60). Since that watershed event, nanotechnology has exploded at Rice and globally and is now an important part of a vast array of engineering applications. Dr. Adams will discuss Rice's current efforts at the head of this field and outline the events planned at Rice for 2010 to celebrate this historic anniversary.

Join fellow engineering alumni and friends at Saint Arnold's for free food from Treebeards and delicious ale fresh from Saint Arnold. RSVP online by Monday, November 30.
