	CUREE Changes More Than Its Name

By a near-unanimous vote of the membership of California Universities for Research in Earthquake Engineering (CUREe), a fundamental change in the Bylaws has been made to allow universities across the country to apply for membership. The name of the re-organized non-profit corporation is Consortium of Universities for Research in Earthquake Engineering (CUREE). CUREE retains its prime purpose: developing and utilizing the capabilities of faculty and other resources at the engineering schools of research universities, applying those resources to the subject of earthquakes, and thereby producing public benefits in terms of research, education, and implementation of earthquake risk reduction. University and individual faculty applications for membership are now actively solicited.
