New Student Chapter at Texas State Univ.-San
Marcos.
At the January American Foundry Society, (AFS) board of directors
meeting, a petition was approved to create a new AFS Student Chapter at
Texas State Univ., San Marcos, Texas. The new student chapter faculty
advisor is Dr. Robert Habingreither, associate dean of the College of
Science. Texas State Univ.-San Marcos, an accredited school since 1990,
is already active in FEF, the Foundation for Metalcasting Education.
The AFS Texas Chapter underwrote the first year of membership for
all students interested in joining the new chapter. At a recent state
chapter meeting, the AFS Texas Chapter also awarded scholarships to
seven Texas State Univ.-San Marcos students.
"We have had outstanding political support from AFS and the
Texas Chapter," Habingreither said. "They were the ones who
originally planted the seed for the future of our program."
