Lehigh is working on their NHERI Annual Progress Report to NSF. We wanted to include our contribution to the presentation made at the SWE Regional Conference that took place earlier this year (see below). Can you provide some information about the name of the
conference, location, and theme?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
