Dear Colleague:
This is an announcement for the 5th Symposium on Injury
Prevention Through Biomechanics, sponsored by Wayne State
University and supported in part by the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. The symposium will be held on May 4-
5, 1995 in the auditorium of Hutzel Hospital in Detroit,
Michigan. We are expecting participants from governmental
agencies, the automotive industry and academic institutions.
A keynote lecture will be given by Dr. John Melvin of
General Motors on "Injury Prevention in High Energy Racing
Crashes." The entire program for the two days is included
below.
For accommodations, a block of rooms is being held at
the St. Regis Hotel, located in the New Center Area. Please
make reservations by calling the hotel directly at (313) 873-
3000 and mention your participation in the Injury Prevention
Through Biomechanics Symposium. The rate is $69 for single
or double occupancy.
The registration fee of $40 covers lunch and parking or
shuttle service for both days and the cost of one copy of
the proceedings. An optional dinner will be held at Lelli's
on Woodward Avenue, just north of Grand Boulevard. The cost
of the dinner is $25. During this dinner, you will have an
opportunity to speak with the authors to discuss your
interests. There will be a cash bar at the restaurant.
For more information or to receive a registration form,
please call Dr. Sheu-Jane Shieh at 313 577-3852 or send e-mail
to shieh@rrb.eng.wayne.edu. Please register by April 24.
