Welcome Back from the Prez…

Hey Civils, my name is Christine Strom, and I am the current president of ASCE.  I want to take this opportunity to welcome you all back to Champaign, and to welcome for the first time all of the transfer and freshman CE’s.  I hope that everyone had an enjoyable summer, but most of all, I hope you are ready to participate in all of the activities that the ASCE officers are currently planning for you.  ASCE will be starting the semester off next Wednesday with Donut Day in the morning and the first General Meeting in the evening.  In addition, ASCE will be treating everyone to ice cream in the Crane Bay the following day at our first ever Ice Cream Social.  Whether you are a new student or a returning student, grad or undergrad, I encourage you all to get involved in ASCE and take advantage of the many different opportunities this semester including field trips, community service, career shadow and much more.  Don’t take my word for it, come to our first General Meeting and see what ASCE is all about.  ASCE is always working to bring our members events and activities they want and will benefit them. If you have any suggestions of what you would like to see for ASCE in the coming semesters, I would love to hear from you, so please email me. Good luck to everyone this semester, and I look forward to seeing you all next week at the General Meeting. 

Sincerely,

Christine Strom

Hey Freshmen!

The ASCE executive board is looking to take a young member under its wings and teach them the ropes of life on the ASCE exec board.  ASCE will be electing a Freshmen Representative at the first General Meeting to join our Executive Board.  The Freshmen Representative will serve as the voice of the new members of ASCE. As freshmen, we encourage you to come to our first General Meeting and hear what we have to offer, at the end of the meeting, we will elect a Rep on the spot. This is a great way to get involved in ASCE right from the start, gain leadership experience, and get to know your fellow CEE peers. 

 

Field Trip to… The Illinois Concrete Company is a precast company located in Champaign that specializes in masonry concrete block, pipes and manholes, and bridge girders.  We will have the opportunity to tour the engineering offices, plant, and yards.  More information in upcoming newsletters.  Contact Kevin Hatcher khatcher@uiuc.edu <mailto:khatcher@uiuc.edu> if interested.

 

Where’s your shadow?

ASCE's Shadow Program will soon be up and running again. This program is a chance for you to spend a day in the real world with a professional engineer and make future job contacts. Keep an eye on the web page and come to the first general meeting for more information.
