The STRC was founded in 1961 by Dr. Luther B. Arnold, and Walter Waluciwitz and Herman Goldstein were instrumental in its founding. Meeting formats foster an atmosphere of interaction between speakers and attendees. As such, each presentation allows time for questions and answers so attendees can get a thorough understanding of the topics presented.
