If you explore just a little bit, you should be able to easily avoid other people. 1.

C E E Newsletter
C E E NEWSLETTER Carnegie Mellon ALSO INSIDE THIS ISSUE CEE’s SUMMER CEE Students 15 Connection 12 Win ASCE With TV’s & Awards ‘The Office’ Al Gore 10 Visits CMU SPRING CEE AlumniSee back cover Events! for details CEE Department Head JIM GARRETT reetings from CEE at Carnegie Mellon! We just completed another excellent academic year, punctuated by an exciting and memorable commencement ceremony. The ceremony featured former Vice President Al Gore, who charged the graduates to lead this country to a more sustainable future and recognized G our department and university as leaders in this mission, and Professor Randy Pausch, who encouraged the graduates to be passionate about how they spend each day. At our CEE graduation ceremony, I was also pleasantly surprised, and touched, to receive a senior class gift from every one of our graduating seniors for use in supporting the Class of 2009. These seniors, a talented group who won many external awards, also clearly demonstrated the community spirit we so often talk about here in CEE. We send our best wishes to all of these graduates as they commence the next phase of their lives. The highlighted theme of this newsletter is environmental sustainability, which we have actively researched and taught courses on since the early 1990’s. One of the most significant contributions to this area has been the Economic Input Output Life-Cycle Assessment (EIO- LCA) tool that has permitted efficient and effective LCA analyses in a large number of domains. This powerful tool, publicly available at www.eiolca.net since 1997, has been very widely used because of its accessibility and flexibility.

PITTSBURGH’S REGIONAL PARKS MASTER PLAN A New Ethic of Stewardship "The beauty of the park . should be the beauty of the fields, the meadow, the prairie, of the green pastures, and the still waters.

2008 Who are the key people I should know in the Chemistry Department? The Chemistry Department is a big place, but there are also people you will or should get to know in the Department early on. The Graduate Admissions Committee makes decisions on the applications submitted for graduate study in the Chemistry Department. The current committee reviewing applications for Fall 2006 include: Scott Nelson, Chair Peter Siska David Earl Stephen Weber Joe Grabowski Craig Wilcox Nathaniel Rosi The Graduate Student Advising Committee (aka GSAC, pronounced gee-sack) advises graduate students until they pass the preliminary exam - i.e., pass four core courses with a B average. GSAC will meet with new students to advise them when they register in August. The current GSAC includes: Toby Chapman, Chair Stéphane Petoud Lillian Chong Sunil Saxena Kazunori Koide Arguably, the most important person for any graduate student is the Chemistry Graduate Administrator, Fran Nagy. Ask any graduate student. When you need to drop-add courses, go see Fran. When you’re not sure if you have enough credits, go see Fran. If you need a course list for registration, go see Fran. If you need a graduation card, go see Fran. (Get the picture?) When you arrive at the Department, ready to “go to work,” you will want to meet the Department’s Payroll Coordinator, Toni Weber. Remember that to complete your payroll paperwork you will need a passport or two forms of ID (including one picture ID) such as driver’s license, birth certificate, or voter’s registration card. You will also need a Social Security Card.
