Second Annual Chemical Engineering Reunion

September 6, 2003

We hosted our second annual Chemical Engineering Reunion for alumni on September 6, 2003. The festivities were held outside under the oak trees between the chemical engineering building and Tiger Stadium. Alumni and their families socialized with the faculty while enjoying jambalaya and beverages. While children played football and other games on the open grass next to the stadium, alumni enjoyed visiting with each other, meeting new people, and, most of all, seeing old friends that they hadn’t seen, in some cases, since graduation.

We were delighted to see so many familiar faces and hope to see them all again, plus many more, in 2004 at the Third Annual Chemical Engineering Reunion. The date has not been firmly set, but we anticipate that it will occur sometime in September or early October of 2004. In addition to the usual food and drinks, we hope to provide the children (and adults) with some activities. We would really like to turn this into an annual event that the whole family will look forward to and do hope that you will try and join us. Additional information on this event will be mailed out in the next few weeks. It can also be accessed on our Web site. Until then, if you have any suggestions as to how we can make the next reunion more exciting, please send them to: gradcoor@lsu.edu. Or, you may include your suggestions on the alumni questionnaire that can be found at the end of this newsletter.
