Message from the Chapter Faculty Advisor
The Gamma Chapter of Alpha Sigma Mu, the International Honor Society in
Materials Science and Engineering, has been active ever since its
inception. My own initiation was as a University of Michigan
Undergraduate in 1982, and we had a reception in the basement of Prof.
Larry Van Vlack's home on the southwest side of Ann Arbor. I can
still recall Prof. Van Vlack and his wife as kind, gentle and caring
about students, and was impressed that he would take the time to have a
group of us over to his own home for the celebration.The University of Michigan has continued to be active in Alpha Sigma Mu, with representatives serving on the Board of Trustees. Michigan has been home to the national Alpha Sigma Mu web site for the past several years, although the University of Dayton has recently agreed to take over this responsibility. At Michigan the Alpha Sigma Mu chapter has had a long tradition of service to fellow students by providing free tutoring, particularly for students taking MSE 250 and now 220, two introductory courses to inspire undergraduates in the field of materials science. Over the years they have also sponsored other events on occasion, including egg drop contests, career fairs, and luncheons. Alpha Sigma Mu members have also helped in service to other department organizations such as the Michigan Materials Society.
