OLD BUSINESS

Larry Townsend will present logo information at the next meeting.

Need to remind Maria LeTellier that she needs to e-mail and snail mail out the current year's budget and officers list.

Larry Townsend is still working on the student support issue. As soon as the committee comes to a conclusion a report will be presented.

NEW BUSINESS

The UTK NE department is getting ready to undergo its next ABET accreditation. As part of that effort the department will e-mail to the ANS Board members the department's objectives for educating undergraduate nuclear engineers. The department would like feedback and comments. If you have no comment (i.e., you think they are fine as is) please reply indicating that is so.

The meeting was adjourned.

The next board meeting will be October 19, 1999. Dennis Tollefson will provide refreshments.
