A special acknowledgement is due to the CenCITT Scientific Advisory Committee for their excellent technical peer review and programmatic guidance. Members include: G. VanderVelde (Chair; Golder Associates), J.E. Alleman (Vice Chair; Purdue Univ.), P.L. Bishop (Univ. of Cincinnati), W.H. Brendley, Jr. (Rohm and Haas Co.), H.J. Campbell, Jr. (E.I. DuPont de NeMours Co.), D.A. Clifford (Univ. of Houston), J.J. Convery (former member; USEPA), H.M. Freemen (USEPA), D.W. Hertz (The M.W. Kellogg Co.), M.C. Kavanaugh (ENVIRON Corp.), G. Ondich (Project Officer; USEPA), S. Sikdar (USEPA), W. Thacker (Simpson Paper), W. Tumus (Los Alamos National Lab.), C. Vinton (National Center for Manufacturing Sciences, NCMS), J. Weaver (American Institute of Chemical Engineers - Sponsored Programs), and E.A. Weinbrecht (Sandia National Lab.).
CenCITT's numerous external collaborators, which to date includes 57 companies and 33 governmental and other organizations, deserve thanks and admiration for their foresightedness in recognizing the value of academic collaboration and taking positive steps to making it happen. CenCITT's strategic alliances with the Center for Waste Reduction Technologies of AIChE and NCMS are also recognized for their active participation and support.
Success of CenCITT is also due to the continuing, behind-the-scenes guidance and encouragement of the Institutional Coordinators: C. Robert Baillod (Michigan Technological University), William C. Boyle (University of Wisconsin-Madison) and Michael J. Semmens (University of Minnesota-Twin Cities).
Finally, a special thanks is extended to Karen Morehouse, the USEPA Project Officer for CenCITT during its first three years of operation. Her experience, advice and in particular, her unwaivering commitment to advancing the science, engineering and understanding of the environment and pollution prevention through universty-based centers have all contributed greatly to the construction and spirit of CenCITT.
