Greetings Duluth Section, 

Our next event is our end-of-the-year celebration on May 20 at 5 pm at the Tavern on the Hill on Woodland Avenue. There will be appetizers available, and they will be covered by the ASCE Duluth section, so there will be no cost for this event. You may bring one significant other to the event also. We will be announcing the student scholarship winners, the UMD students will be talking about their competition events that they just completed at the symposium, and we will be talking about some other items that happened over the past year. Please use the collaborate link (coming soon)  to RSVP so we can plan for food. If you cannot use the collaborate link, please send me a message. 

Our UMD student section announced that they recently competed in Milwaukee at the symposium. The Geowall team took 1st place, the Steel Bridge took 4th place, and the Concrete Canoe was disqualified due to some minor cracking. So overall the teams did well and are looking forward to competing again next year. 

We are currently looking for a secretary for next year to keep our board rolling. We are also looking for a Membership Chair. Please let me or another board member know if you are interested. We meet once a month during the months of August to May. 

Finally, I want to thank all the current Board Member’s for their efforts this year. We accomplished a lot and grew our YMG group and the Student Section group. I have really enjoyed working with all the board members and I am excited for what they will do next year for our Duluth ASCE Section. 

Hope to see you on the 20th for our end-of-the-year celebration and please don’t forget to RSVP.

Duluth Section President
