More than 40 alumni of MCEER and its predecessor, the National Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (NCEER), gathered for a special reunion breakfast at this year's 13th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering (13WCEE), in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, August 1-6, 2004.

The alumni included past researchers and students, who joined with current researchers, students, industry partners and staff to reconnect with colleagues, advisors and friends, and to re-acquaint themselves with developments at MCEER and the University at Buffalo. The breakfast was held atop the Pan Pacific Hotel, overlooking the beautiful Burrard Inlet and Vancouver's famous Stanley Park.

MCEER thanks all for their attendance.
