[Ridgeway, Colin D.]

All,


As I mentioned in the introductory meeting we have the CIC conference in Chicago each year.  Please see the details below about how to sign-up for FEF and what is needed to be eligible to do so.  We typically take 3-5 students.  So please let me know as soon as possible if you have any interest in going to the FEF CIC!!


Janet Meier (CC'd) attended last year and can answer any questions about attending the event!!

Home - Foundry Educational Foundation<http://fefinc.org/>
fefinc.org
Offers educational programs for students and educators in the metal casting industry.




Your students need to register on the FEF website as soon as possible (CIC delegates, scholarships recipients, anyone taking your class)

* If they registered in previous years, they only need to update their profile - not create a new one; they should have received a reactivation email in July

* If they don't follow this procedure, you (and company representatives) will not be able to view their information and it will look like they haven't registered

* If anyone has problems with their profile, email me - pam at fefinc.org<mailto:pam at fefinc.org>



NEW Internship/Co-Op Scholarships

                * Please remind your students that (if they have had an internship or co-op during 2016) they can apply for one of five $2000 scholarships that will be awarded in November
