Bob Chang Receives 1988 MRS Woody Award MRS President Bob Chang was presented with the 1988 MRS Woody Award by Kathy Taylor, former MRS President, in recognition of Chang's outstanding achievements in the service of MRS, especially in the area of MRS international relations. The award was presented to Chang following the April 28, 1989 session of the MRS Council meeting. The Woody Award was initiated by former MRS President Harry J. Leamy in 1984 and was named by him after its first recipient C.W. (Woody) White, the 1984 President of the Society. It is given to an MRS volunteer who, following the model established by White, devotes to MRS activities over an extended period of time a level of time and energy that considerably exceeds all reasonable expectations. Chang's dedication to the Society over many years has led to numerous accomplishments. His association with MRS began in 1984 when with B. Abeles he organized the first symposium on "Plasma Synthesis and Etching of Electronic Materials." In 1986, with Carol Jan tzen and Jim Roberto, he served as a Fall Meeting chair of the largest MRS meeting up to that time. Chang has been elected to several MRS offices. He was elected to MRS Council in
1986; in 1987 he was MRS Second Vice President and MRS First Vice president in 1988. Since 1985, Bob Chang has been chairman of international relations, with the responsibility of assisting MRS-style activities around the world. He has been MRS's ambassador in developing a very special and fruitful relationship between the Society and the materials communities in Japan and China. Working with scientists in Japan he helped to organize the first MRS International Meeting on Advanced Materials, which was held in Japan in 1988. Also through Chang's efforts MRS cosponsored the International Conference on Electronic Materials and the Sixth IBMM (Ion Beam Modification of Materials) Conference. Chang places international relations high on his MRS agenda. In accepting the award Chang said: 'Today materials technology is moving extremely fast, and it is important for MRS to work with other societies to help our members keep up to date. MRS is in a very good position to serve our members and the international materials community through cooperation in the dissemination of research results and the exchange of new ideas." The Materials Re-
search Society attributes its success as a technical society to the dedication and hard work by many outstanding volunteers. Bob Chang exemplifies this devotion. |M|R|S|
