MME Seminar Series - Microstructural Evolution
2019-03-29 12:10 - 13:00 | BSEL 102
Abstract
Materials issues such as corrosion, strength, ductility, crack propagation, etc are
significantly affected by microstructural evolution either during the materials lifetime
or in the manufacturing processes which produced the material. By gaining a clear
understanding of the microstructural evolution of materials it is possible to create
new improved materials tailored specifically for the required task. Using the specific
examples of the solidification of carbides in liquid U, hydride formation and growth in
nuclear fuel rod claddings, and grain boundary engineering in FCC nickel the study of
microstructural evolution to improve materials will be discussed.
Bio
Jacob L. Bair was raised on a farm near Ephrata, WA. He earned a B.S. degree in Mechanical
Engineering with a second major in French from Washington State University in December
of 2012, then his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Missouri University of
Science and Technology in December of 2016. His research has been on experimental
and computational studies of the microstructural evolution of materials using scanning
electron microscopy with Electron Backscatter Diffraction, Phase Field Modeling, and
Molecular Dynamics. Topics he has researched include hydrides in Zr fuel rod claddings,
grain boundary migration in face centered cubic materials, and twinning in nickel. At
PNNL he has been involved in phase field modeling of UC formation in a liquid U melt,
Pu Oxalate precipitation, and a combined experimental and computational study of
hydride embrittlement in Zr fuel rod claddings.

Point to Success fundraising Brunch
2019-03-30 10:00 - 13:00 | Anthony’s at Columbia Point, 550 Columbia Point Dr., Richland, WA, 99352, United States
The master of ceremonies will be KNDU Television news anchor Tracci Dial and the featured speaker is Tim Hanni, flavor maven, internationally known expert in wine and the wine business, and the first person in the U.S. to earn the Master of Wine credential (http://www.timhanni.com/). Tim is author of the book, Why you like the Wines you Like. Did you know that your wine preference correlates to a dislike of loud restaurants, an affinity for sushi, a dislike of cilantro, a dislike of tags in your clothes, and your mother’s susceptibility to morning sickness? And that Tim developed a short quiz you can take to sort this all out? You won’t want to miss this informative and amusing presentation.
This year’s brunch will include a live auction for some great packages, a $25 wine grab, and a fun game of heads-or-tails. Auction items include a private vineyard-to-bottle tour featuring Charlie Hoppes and Dick Boushey; a weeklong stay at a penthouse condo at Punta Mita, near Puerta Vallarta; a stay for four on a Seattle houseboat; a private tasting for twelve at a local distillery; a condo stay for eight at Eagle Crest resort, near Bend; two-night stays at the Columbia Gorge Hotel and the Lodge at Cannon Beach; a summer pool barbecue overlooking the Snake River; a family photo session; a private tour of a submarine conning tower with dinner for eight; and a dinner for eight at a local waterfront home prepared by the Executive Chef of the WSU School of Hospitality and Business Management, Jamie Callison. The wine grab will include many bottles of wine with retail values greater than $60 and an average value of over $40, including ten 90-pointers and two double gold winners. The prize package for heads-or-tails includes a $350, 100-point wine.

As in previous years, Anthony’s is generously donating the space, food, and champagne, so essentially all of the money raised goes straight to the Carson College of Business at WSU Tri-Cities.

Please feel free to forward this e-mail to any others whom you feel would be willing to help support the CCB at WSU Tri-Cities.

AVID for Higher Education - Disrupting Deficit Narratives Through Equity-Minded Practice
2019-04-05 08:00 - 15:30 | WSU Tri-Cities, 2710 Crimson Way, Richland, WA, 99354, United States
Disrupting Deficit Narratives
Through Equity-Minded Practice
WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY, TRI-CITIES, WA
As a precursor to student engagement, motivation matters. The literature is overrun with deficit thinking about diverse
students, their families, cultures, socioeconomic background, abilities, and communities. Educators frequently lament
about how to motivate students to “care” about their learning. Yet, very few have the opportunity to participate in the
work needed to foster the equity mindedness to disrupt these deficit narratives.
The news illustrates examples where college administrators, faculty, and staff miss the mark on how to cultivate
positive learning environments where all students can thrive. Further, many institutions lack resources needed to
engage and support faculty and staff in proactive preparation to better serve a diverse student body. Research says
that students learn and thrive in environments in which they feel included, heard, and valued.
