Three more days. 🎓🐺 See you all at graduation this Friday at the McKimmon Center!

We had a blast at the CCEE Picnic and Signing Day last week, celebrating our students and what's next for them, whether that be an internship or full-time position. 👏

Thank you to everyone who joined us and marked the moment by snapping a picture with Ms. Wuf. Go Pack! 🐺❤️

Congrats to our student chapter of American Society of Civil Engineers for taking home 3rd place at the 2026 ASCE Carolinas Student Symposium! 🥉

Groups participated in a variety of designing and building competitions, ranging from concrete canoes, 3D-printed bridges, two-story wood light-framed buildings and more. 👷‍♀️

Great job, team! 🧱🐺

We are so proud of our graduate students who participated in the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition this week! 👏

Each participant had just three minutes and one static visual slide to explain their research, and its significance to society. 🌎

🏆 Congratulations to Sarah Grace Lott for taking home the first place prize!
