CAST Colleagues: This is a reminder of our normal August 1 deadline for the CAST Graduate Travel Grant Award applications. Information on the nomination format can be found at http://www.castdiv.org/TravelGrants.htm Please be sure to include the student's AIChE membership number in the nomination letter. As a new initiative led by Prof. Marianthi Ierapetritou, this year the five Travel Grant Awardees will be considered for the CAST Directors’ Student Presentation Award. Details regarding the new award will be forthcoming; please note that this new award will not affect the existing Travel Grant nomination process this year. --Ray Raymond A.
