The best of student and professional worlds - South Central Regional Conference
IE students, faculty members and professionals have a chance for a unique experience. It isn't often that South Central Region IEs get a chance to attend a meeting that is:
- A learning experience.
- An opportunity to learn about research being conducted by bright South Central Region IE students.
- An opportunity to become acquainted with and do some networking with some students, faculty members, and industrial IEs from universities and companies throughout the five-State area of the South Central Region.
- An opportunity to hear lectures/presentations by keynote speakers.
- An opportunity to hear an update on IIE by a Board of Trustees representative.
Yet, this is exactly what will be happening in Stillwater, Okla., on Feb. 25-26, at the South Central Regional Conference and Undergraduate Student Technical Paper Competition. Most festivities will be held at the Wes Watkins Center on the OSU campus. Conference details

In the article, he notes, "In all cases, the biggest variable of the three is the 'people' dimension." Yea, verily. A major part of any IE's job is concerned with working with and through people.

Kansas City Chapter (92) Senior Member Panel
The Spanish American philosopher and poet, George Santayana, is perhaps best known for his remark, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Also, anyone who has worked with any organization for a length of time knows that people who contribute their time and expertise need to be recognized, and their knowledge and seasoning need to be utilized.
