Von Flue Medal nominations now being accepted

The deadline for nominations to the Frank von Flue Medal, which acknowledges achievements in the promotion of lifelong learning, is Jan. 31, 2005. The award consists of an honorarium of $1,000 and a bronze medal. It will be presented at a ceremony at ASME's 2005 International Mechanical Engineering Congress in November.
