Penn State will receive three new scholarship endowments for engineering students, thanks to a $150,000 gift from University alumnus and State College native John D. Bender. Bender, who earned a master's degree in engineering mechanics from Penn State in 1976, chose to honor Andrew Pytel, professor emeritus of engineering mechanics, in addition to his own his parents and brother in creating and naming the endowments.

Dr. Sulin Zhang, Assistant Professor, and Mr. Pratyush Tewari, graduate degree candidate, are attending the fall 2007 meeting of the Materials Research Society on November 26 - 30, 2007.
The 2007 Materials Research Society Fall Meeting will feature 42 technical symposia in seven topical clusters, an international exhibit highlighting products and services of interest to the materials community, and much more.
More specifically, Dr. Zhang will be presenting a paper, “Size-dependent Endocytosis of Nanoparticles,” a collaborative effort with Professor Ju Li at the University of Pennsylvania and Professor Subra Suresh at MIT.
Pratyush Tewari is going to give two presentations, one on “Interfacial effects in organic- inorganic laminar composite dielectric structures,” and the other “Interfaces in Organic and Molecular Electronics III.” His goal is to present the role of making high energy density composite dielectrics.
