Christopher Kimojino, a Junior in Chemical Engineering and member of the Alternative Fuels Group Enterprise, has been awarded a $10,000 General Motors Sullivan Fellowship. The GM Sullivan Fellowship Program is a partnership between General Motors and the United Negro College Fund in honor of the late Reverend Dr. Leon H. Sullivan. The purpose of this fellowship is to support universal human rights by promoting equal opportunity, fair competition, and sustainable development; respecting voluntary freedom of association; and protecting human health and the environment.

The Enterprise Program is seeking a new logo that we can use in our print and WWW publications. We'd like to invite MTU students, staff, and faculty to submit possible logo designs.

Themes to consider:

* Design
* Entrepreneurship
* Communication
* Problem solving
* Multidisciplinary teamwork & collaboration
* Professional development

A small logo obviously can't express all of those themes, so we will choose the entry that we think is the best fit for our communications. Our primary audiences include industry partners, government agencies, and MTU staff, students, and faculty.

Size: approximately 200 x 200 pixels
Colors: need not be MTU colors, but the logo may occasionally appear side-by-side with MTU colors, so they shouldn't clash
Questions?: Contact Mary Raber, Enterprise Program Project Coordinator:

File format: TIFF
Deadline: December 15th 2004; submitted on CD-ROM to Mary Raber

Logo design winner will receive $100 in cash and your work will be seen and appreciated widely.

NVH will begin operation in the spring 2005 and is directed toward education, training, and entrepreneurship in the areas of noise and vibrations. The emphasis is on learning modern concepts, experimental and numerical tools needed to solve practical problems from industries. Initial funding for the program has been obtained from Volvo Construction Equipment Company, Korea, to address various issues with noise and vibration. The goal is to expand the program to include projects from other industries including automotive, appliance, machine tool and aerospace. Read the Program's Brochure (PDF).
