Stevens
Institute of Technology
Through the efforts of Caryn Connolly, Student Section Chair, the SNAME Student
Section at Stevens Institute of Technology is now a recognized student organization
at that school. This recognition has made it possible for more undergraduates
to be exposed to naval architecture and marine engineering and the possibility
of increased membership. As
always, anyone who is involved in the naval architecture or marine engineering
field, and will be visiting the New York/Metropolitan area, is invited to come
and speak to our Section at Stevens. Please contact Caryn Connolly at cconnoll@stevens.edu.

of British Columbia
As the 2005/2006 academic year draws to a close, the SNAME Student Section at
the University of British Columbia (UBC) would like to congratulate all of its
naval architecture graduates. We wish them great success in their future. We
would also like to thank Mr. Jon Mikkelsen and Dr. Pete Ostafichuk for their
hard work with the NA program this year. Robert Allan Ltd. and Aker Yards Marine
Inc. were a great help to all of the students at UBC in the senior design courses.

University
of New Orleans
After the devastation from Hurricane Katrina, the University of New Orleans
SNAME Student Section is rebuilding and getting stronger everyday. We would

Due to damage to the Engineering building, we have not been able to hold our
monthly SNAME meetings. Now that the building has been cleared, the officers
look forward to getting back into the swing of things this summer and preparing
for an active Fall semester. Read
