Day 3 at the Southeast Student Symposium 🛶☀️ was everything we love about ASCE FIU: grit, teamwork, and unforgettable moments. From the canoe races to cheering on our teammates across competitions, today was all about showing up for one another. Even when unexpected obstacles came our way, we paddled through it together—because that’s what ONE TEAM truly means 💙💛

We’re so proud to celebrate our achievements:
🥈 2nd Place – 3D Printed Bridge
🥉 3rd Place – Timber Strong (with our FIRST EVER all-girls builder team 💪👷‍♀️✨)

Ending our time in Boca surrounded by our chapter, our friends, and our memories makes this all the more special. We’re already counting down the days until we welcome everyone to FIU next year for the next symposium 🐾🔥

A huge THANK YOU to our sponsors for making opportunities like this possible—we couldn’t do it without your support!

Until next year… paws up 🐾💙💛

Day 2 at the Southeast Student Symposium at FAU brought the energy ALL the way up ⚡🐾

This day was game time. From early mornings to nonstop competitions, our teams stepped up across every event , Steel Bridge, Traffic Control, Construction Institute, 3D Printed Bridge, and more 💪🏽⚙️ Every moment was about focus, ex*****on, and giving it everything we had for ASCE FIU 💙💛

But what stood out most wasn’t just the competition — it was the unity🫂. Cheering each other on, celebrating every win (big or small), and pushing through challenges together… that’s what makes this team special 🤝🔥

We’re proud of how we showed up, how we supported one another, and how we continue to represent FIU with passion and pride 😤✨

Day 2 = all in 🎯
Let’s keep going 🐾💯

Day 1 at the Southeast Student Symposium is officially in the books!! 🐾💙💛🎉

From attending captains meetings 📝👷‍♀️👷‍♂️ to checking out the steel bridge display 🏗️🔩, today was all about getting into the rhythm of competition and proudly representing ASCE FIU 💪💙💛

But beyond the meetings and prep, the most important part of today was the connections 🤝❤️

This day gave us the chance to slow down, laugh , and really get to know each other outside of meetings and projects. From car rides 🚐🎶 to late-night talks 🌙✨ and nonstop memories 📸💫, we grew closer as a chapter and strengthened the bond that makes us who we are 💙🐾

Because at the end of the day, it’s more than just competition… it’s family 🫶🥹

Day 1 = locked in 🔒🔥
Let’s keep the momentum going 💯🚀

🐾

As the semester comes to a close, we want to take a moment to highlight the incredible sponsors who made it all possible. 💙✨

First up, our Gold Sponsor — JGR Construction 👷‍♂️🏗️

Last semester, JGR hosted an engaging info session where our members got an inside look into their projects, operations, and day-to-day life in the construction industry. From learning about real-world field processes to hearing directly from professionals, it was an invaluable experience for everyone who attended.

Beyond just sharing their knowledge, JGR created a space for meaningful conversations, questions, and connections — something that truly makes a difference for students preparing to enter the industry.

We are incredibly grateful for JGR Construction’s continued support of ASCE FIU. Your commitment to student growth and professional development helps us create opportunities that go far beyond the classroom.

Thank you for building the future with us. 🚧💛
