I am pleased to report that the Council with its newly elected members has now met and that a number of new Society activities are underway. The Office of Naval Research has agreed to provide support for awards to the best student papers presented at our meetings and for the publication of a career booklet and a booklet about how to prepare good visual aids and to give a good scientific talk. We have submitted a proposal to NSF, NASA, and NOAA for start-up support of an Oceanography Newsletter, support of students to attend scientific meetings, and the publication of a directory of educational programs.
