Biosystems Engineering at Oklahoma State University

Oklahoma Section Meeting of ASAE
October 12, 2001
(9/27/01)

The Oklahoma Section of ASAE will meet, Friday, October 12, 2001. All are welcome to attend. There is no charge for the meeting, but the luncheon is extra. However, BAE students who sign up early get a free lunch. Just think, this may be the only time in your undergraduate education when you get something at OSU without paying for it.
