At the ceremony were (left to right): Anthony Yu, Chapter Vice President; Toni Koch, Chapter President-Elect; Elton Kaufmann, MRS President; Glenn Harmon, Chapter President; and Prof. Michael Thompson, Chapter Advisor. Chapter Advisor, Prof. Michael Thompson. Others present at the seminar included students and faculty from various fields at Cornell, including materials science, electrical engineering, applied physics, and chemical engineering. After Kaufmann's visit, the Chapter enthusiastically planned for the Fall Meeting in Boston. Using a travel assistance grant from MRS, 14 members of the Cornell Chapter were able to attend the meeting.
