A
Message from our King of All CEE’s
Welcome everyone to a new year of exciting events in the UIUC ASCE
student chapter. As you may have read in the 04September Benchmark, I
staged a bloody coup this summer to “assume the position” of
president. Henceforth,
please refer to me as “Highness” or “Your Grace” or simply “Oh
captain, my captain.” This
year we expect to win the national steel bridge and concrete canoe
competitions, as well as winning the Chicago marathon, the Nobel Prize
in literature, and the Academy award for best instructional language
video. Please join ASCE on our website. Please stop by or email me with
any questions or comments. Study
hard, and relax harder.
Hooray for school,
Peter Byler
