News
- The next SOUE event is the 2010 Jenkin Meeting, which is on Saturday 25 September 2010, coinciding again with the University's Alumni Weekend (24-26 September). The Jenkin Lecture will be given by Peter Raynes FRS, the Department's Professor of Optoelectronics, on "Liquid crystal displays - some surprising contributions from the UK". Our morning talks are being given by Vilnis Vesma on the low-carbon future and Rod Smith on volcanic ash and aero engines. We are also planning a small dinner at The Perch, Binsey, on the Friday night (24 September).
- The ninth issue of SOUE News, the Society's newsletter, is available for you to read.
- The Head of Department's report for 2009-10 is available as part of the ninth issue of SOUE News.
A LinkedIn professional networking group has recently been set up exclusively for SOUE members, which facilitates contact between members of the Society who wish to tap in to the wide range of skills and experience available within our membership. Members are encouraged to join the group, which promises to be a very useful resource.
Do We Have Your E-Mail Address?
For reasons of cost and time, some mailings are only sent electronically: we generally only send one paper mailing per year, but send occasional electronic mailings (typically three or four per year) about things that may be of interest to our members (e.g. a request in February 2010 for engineering alumni to join in the Trading Places scheme run by the University's Access Department). Additionally, now that the Department is no longer sending Open Day invitations to all SOUE members by post, only those members for whom we have e-mail addresses can be sure of receiving an invitation.
If you did not receive an e-mail in August about the Jenkin Day, it is very likely that we do not have a working e-mail address for you. If you would like to receive occasional electronic mailings from the SOUE as well as (or instead of) paper mailings, please fill in the mailing preferences form or send e-mail to membership@soue.org.uk letting us know how you would like to be contacted.
