UCAR's annual meeting in October addressed a wide range of areas where UCAR and universities can work together. The follow-up site for the meeting includes PDF summaries of the breakout sessions on the water cycle, biogeosciences, cyberinfrastructure, next-generation observing systems, and next-generation faculty. UCAR welcomes the University of California, Berkeley and Columbia University as the newest of our 68 member institutions. Joining our board of trustees are Rosina Bierbaum (University of Michigan), Eugenia Kalnay (University of Maryland), Steven Rutledge (Colorado State University), and Soroosh Sorooshian (University of California, Irvine). For more news from the members' meeting, see the Governance Update in the winter 2003-04 issue.
