Lifelong Learning
April 2014
It’s nearly May, our month for highlighting the incredible
talents and successes of our next generation of Civil Engineers – Cal Poly’s
SCE Chapter.
Our Branch is small and in a more remote part of Region 9,
yet within our borders is one of the nation’s leading universities for Civil
Engineering. In fact, Cal Poly recently received the Robert Ridgway Chapter
Finalist Award, which means they are among the top five university student
chapters in ASCE! That’s incredible considering there are over 150 student
chapters nationwide. Suffice it to say, we are proud of our SCE Officers, Student
Members and Faculty Advisors, and grateful for the opportunity to spend time
with the students through ASCE.
Each month SCE makes it a point to send student members to
our Branch meetings – providing a connection between students and
professionals, and helping to bridge the gap when students enter the industry.
I urge our members (you!) to attend this month’s Branch meeting on May 15th,
where we will hear presentations about innovation, dedication, and engineering
from Cal Poly SCE’s Concrete Canoe, Steel Bridge and Geo Wall teams. Come help
to highlight the successes of our local students and encourage their education
and practice in Civil Engineering. And who knows, you might even meet your
company’s next student intern or new hire! We look forward to seeing you there.
Speaking of SCE events, I want to leave you with one last
great ASCE opportunity for the month. Do you like eating delicious BBQ? Better
yet, do you like eating free
BBQ?! Or hanging at Chorro Park? Or playing softball and frisbee? SCE would
love to see our Branch members (you!) come out for a casual and fun event! So
grab your sunblock and your family, and come join SCE, YMF and the Branch for
the SCE End-of-the-Year annual BBQ at Chorro Park on Sunday, May 25th,
11:00 am – 4:00 pm. You’re welcome to bring your kids, spouses and friends.
As always, thank you for participating in our local ASCE
events, and for helping to support our students!
Carolyn K. Berg, P.E.
ASCE SLO Branch President
