College Volunteer Leadership Council (CVLC) Meets for Semiannual Meetings

Chuck & Katie Cline, Winifred & David Dahl

The College of Physical & Mathematical Sciences CVLC recently held their semiannual meeting in conjunction with BYU Homecoming. The CVLC, an advisory council of alumni and friends of the college, met at Aspen Grove to hear reports from the Deans and to participate in committee discussions that resulted in proposals to help further the mission of the college. Following dinner and the meetings of the day, Peter Vidmar, a member of the council and a former Olympic Gold Medalist, regaled the council with a description of his experiences at the Olympics and lessons learned that apply to each person’s life.

The following day was spent touring the newly renovated Eyring Science Center underground lab in which the council was briefed on research in acoustics, lasers, and nanotechnology. Upon completion of the underground lab tour, departments hosted dinners and discussions for alumni and members of the CVLC. Attendance at the Homecoming Spectacular completed the day’s events —a treat for all in attendance.

The final day of the CVLC visit included a breakfast/meeting hosted by the Department of Geological Sciences in which they commemorated 100 years of scholarship and honored attending graduates from the 1940’s and 1950’s. The afternoon was spent supporting the football team in its victory over New Mexico.

The next CVLC visit to the college has been set for March of 2009, and will be held in conjunction with the college Spring Research Conference.

The college is grateful for the support of the CVLC and thanks them for their participation in the recent council meetings and Homecoming festivities.
