Induction:
KR noted that timing is a big issue because Fall grades
are not timely. Faculty did not know about reviewing
the names for invitation to STT. ML suggested we post
the invitation on the web site. DK said there was a
lot of missed names the last time and people were upset.
In Fall newsletter
announce induction coming up and faculty needs to review
list and make suggestions by a given date. Need to run
the list by Wendy, graduate students missed last year.

invitation to the induction luncheon.
