Chapter of Excellence Nomination 2016-2017
Chapter of Excellence Nomination 2016-2017 Iowa State University Material Advantage Chapter Elena Ewaldz ISU Material Advantage President Chapter Overview The Iowa State University Material Advantage Chapter (ISU MA) had yet another excellent year in many aspects. Career Development was chosen as the main focus for the year and that was well achieved. Seven professionals spoke at general meetings; workshops were held to advance career fair skills. Social events were held with professionals in order to facilitate networking opportunities. A main focus was put on attending conferences and allowing as many students as possible to attend, twelve attended MS&T and five attended CVD. Outreach also remained important to ISU MA, and the chapter’s Outreach Chairs worked extra hard to grow and strengthen the outreach program, through which many Iowa students, of all ages, were introduced to materials science and engineering. This year, ISU MA hosted or participated in 30 outreach events, many of them for students ranging in the k-12 age group. This increased from last year by nine events! Through the efforts of the Fundraising Chairs, we were able to increase funds by selling more pizza each week. With the work of the Fundraising Chairs and generous funding from Iowa State’s Engineering Student Council, and the Department of Material Science and Engineering, 12 students were able to attend the Material Science and Technology 2016 conference, and 5 students were able to attend Congressional Visit Day in Washington D.C. at little cost to them. This was an amazing opportunity for our students, and one we were proud to be able to provide.

Ames Transit Agency Board of Trustees Cyride Conference Room
AMES TRANSIT AGENCY BOARD OF TRUSTEES CYRIDE CONFERENCE ROOM February 11, 2017 1. CALL TO ORDER: 10:00 A.M. 2. System Redesign Study Presentation/Discussion 3. Set Spring Semester Meeting Times and Place: • February 28, 2017, 8:00 AM • March 30, 2017, 8:00 AM • April 27, 2017, 8:00 AM 4. Adjourn 0 CITY OF AMES, Iowa MEMO TO: Ames Transit Board of Trustees FROM: Sheri Kyras DATE: February 11, 2017 SUBJECT: System Redesign Study Presentation/Discussion BACKGROUND: At the January 19, 2017 Transit Board of Trustees meeting, CyRide’s System Redesign Study consultant, Nelson Nygaard, briefly updated board members on three potential transit system scenarios – ISU Status Quo, ISU Fiscally Constrained and Transformative. It was decided at that meeting that more time to understand and consider the options was needed and as a result, a special board meeting would be needed to accomplish these goals. Also, board members indicated an interest comments generated from the study’s online, community survey. INFORMATION: The purpose of the special meeting is to: • Provide a basic understanding of the changes under the Transformative scenario, as this option was not able to be discussed in great detail at the January board meeting, and to provide a summary of the two ISU scenarios discussed at that meeting • Discuss pros and cons for the community regarding each set of route changes in the scenarios • Introduce, and briefly discuss, new services that could be added to each of the scenarios as the “Transformative” and “ISU fiscally constrained” scenarios represent approximately 3% of the maximum 5% local funding partner’s annual increase approved by the Transit Board as a guiding principal for the study • Introduce, and briefly discuss, changes to CyRide’s operational policies, which could provide greater efficiency or cost effectiveness, but may impact current customer expectations • Discuss next steps and timing of study activities A PowerPoint presentation and handout materials will be prepared for the meeting to guide board members through the above topics.
