Location

          The 2002 annual meeting of the Society of Rheology will be held at the Radisson Hotel Metrodome on the campus of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.

The Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, situated near the confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi rivers, offer a remarkable blend of readily accessible cultural, gastronomic, athletic, and shopping opportunities. Mid-October usually coincides with the peak of fall colors, and the many urban lakes and parks provide beautiful settings for walking, jogging, and biking. Direct flights to Minneapolis-St Paul International Airport are conveniently available from most cities in North America.
