Elections, Polos, Pigfest!

Hey guys there is a lot of stuff happening in the world right now. I don't really have space here to go over all of it and also I am not really a current affairs expert (though I do read the Alligator occasionally) so I am just going to focus on some of the stuff happening here at UF ASCE:

- Elections! Wednesday 4/14 is an election meeting so come out and vote for a new Executive Board! If you want to get involved in ASCE but you don't know how/are too shy/want to get to know more people before you stage a coup and name yourself Generalissimo in Fall 2011 you can always apply for one of our appointed E-Board positions like Food Chair or Community Service Chair. Talk to Chris after the meeting to find out more.

- Polos! We still have a whole bunch of polos you guys need to buy. I think maybe someone put a couple extra zeros somewhere on the order form because really we have a whole bunch of these lying around. Please come by the office today and buy one for yourself and every member of your family.

- Pigfest! Pigfest is happening on April 22. What is Pigfest? It's a huge party where we roast a pig and hang around all day dr...uh...drawing up plans and doing engineering stuff. Yeah. Engineering stuff. The 22nd is a reading day so you have absolutely no excuse to not come out.

American Society of Civil Engineers at UF

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) is a national network of civil engineers that was founded in 1852. It is the oldest national professional engineering society in the United States . The University of Florida Student Chapter is one of the largest student chapters in the country with nearly 250 active members! The chapter allows civil engineering students to become involved in community service projects, socials, intramural sports, study groups, and engineering competitions. It is also a great way to meet future employers for an internship or a job after graduation!
