Meeting-in-Miniature - ACS
My name is Mekki Bayachou and I am the Chair of the ACS-Cleveland Section for 2010. The meeting-in-miniature (MIM) is an important annual activity of the Cleveland section of ACS in which student-researchers from surrounding institutions and colleges present their work. The forum is not limited to students, but faculty and other senior researchers such as postdocs also participate. The MIM meeting this year will be held at Cleveland State University on March 17th , 2010.

Here’s an update on some exciting things that have occurred or are in process that enhance RIT as a university for graduate study:
-- We formally opened the university's new Center for Student Innovation last fall. The center is already helping to spawn new technologies, innovative products and services, potential new business ideas, and is an important part of the university's effort to infuse creativity and innovation into all areas of our curriculum.
-- Planning is underway for our second annual Graduate Student Research Symposium. Last year's symposium featured posters and presentations from 70 graduate students - this year's symposium is expected to double that number.
-- We just opened our new $10 million student-service center for student-activities and our more than 100 student clubs and organizations.
-- We’ve inked many new partnerships and research agreements that will offer our students even greater opportunities for collaborative study and research – visit our research web site to read more.
-- We’re preparing for our third annual Creativity + Innovation Festival that will feature more than 500 research projects of our students and faculty. Save the date - you’re invited to this free event. You’ll receive a personal invitation to this event in an April email.
-- Our industry-leading activities in sustainability education, research and practice are now highlighted on our new Sustainability web site.
-- RIT just announced a switch to a semester calendar beginning in 2013. This will bring RIT in line with the calendars of most other universities while offering students more opportunities for additional study, academic support, and socializing with friends at other schools during breaks.
-- Many of our 80 graduate programs are still accepting applications.
