On Monday, a group of our officers attended the Tennessee Engineers’ Conference in Franklin, TN. Our previous fundraising chair and concrete canoe captain, Savannah Quick, was awarded the 2022 Roger W. Meier Student Chapter Member Award by ASCE! The award was very deserving, as she constantly worked beyond her officer duties the past two years to ensure the success of our chapter. We are very proud of her, and we are extremely grateful for her contributions to our chapter.

Thank you to everybody who came out to our GBM today!! And huge thanks to Ryan Gerkin from for coming to speak with us! We really enjoyed learning more about structural engineering (and those stress balls will definitely come in handy for finals week)!

We really enjoyed our site visit with in Knoxville today! Huge thanks to Ann Beaver and Jacob Gasnow for enlightening us on the several projects along Alcoa Highway. We got to watch videos of a huge pre-split blasting, see the great and infamous “Wall 8,” and even get our own police es**rt! We learned a whole lot from this trip, and we look forward to more site visits in the future!

THIS MONDAY! Join us for a GBM with WK Dickson! Amy Hathaway will be giving a presentation following updates from our officers. See you there!

This Saturday! Join ASCE as we pour our concrete canoe for the upcoming ASCE Student Conference! This event is open to all members, we need lots of help!
