For the second year in a row, members of the CHARA collaboration gathered at GSU in the Aderhold Learning Center for a three-day review, opened by GSU President Mark Becker, of scientific and technical progress made during 2011. The scientific program was once again organized by Dr. Theo ten Brummelaar, CHARA's Associate Director. We thank Sandy Land and Susan McAlister for their efforts in daily catering and the Tuesday evening reception held at the University's Rialto Center for the Performing Arts.
