Welcome from Clarkson
AISES 25th Anniversary and Region 6 Conference: April 8 - 9, 2005

It is with great excitement that the American Indian Science & Engineering Society (AISES) Chapter at Clarkson prepares for its 25th Anniversary, and to host the Region 6 Conference. We look forward to welcoming you to our campus to share the blessings of nature and the treasure of friends and professionals who will journey to be with us over the weekend. We hope you will put us on your calendar and begin to plan now to join us for the festivities. April is a beautiful time of year in northern New York State. Mother Earth will be waking from her winter slumber to show her beautiful spring self.

Conference Theme - 7 Generations: Past, Present and Future
"In our every deliberation we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations." This quote is from the Great Law of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy. We are taking this opportunity to look at the past, present and future of three topics of particular interest to Native people and others: health, land resources and the environment, and education.
