Dean Yannis Yortsos opens the meeting.


Profs. Mansour Rahimi and Behrokh Khoshnevis in a contemplative stance.



Profs. Stan Settles, Maged Dessouky, and Jim Moore listen attentively over lunch.



Profs. Najmedin Meshkati and Sheldon Ross comment in an animated fashion.  Senior Associate Dean John O'Brien
is deeply concerned.  Profs. Maria Yang and Stephen Lu huddle conspiratorially.  Prof. Stan Settles listens
in shocked disbelief.  Prof. Maged Dessouky contemplates Rose Bowl tickets.  His will power shattered,
Prof. Jim Moore surrenders and consumes the carbohydrates.



Profs. Kurt Palmer and Fernando Ordonez formulate a position.
