Greetings Duluth Section,  

Our next luncheon is on Feb 17th at noon up at UMD held in conjunction with the Student Chapter.  Heather Fishel will be telling us about updates to the MEng program and Manik Barman will be discussing his ongoing research in the transportation materials field. Please use the collaborate link (watch your email this week) to RSVP so we can be sure to have UMD prepared and so we can plan an accurate lunch head count.  If you are unable to use collaborate, please 
send me a message. The cost of this event is $25 if you register before 5 pm on February 14 and $30 at the door for professionals. 

   
We did get a date selected for the Toothpick Bridge competition for high school students at UMD and it is on April 16.  If you would like to volunteer as a judge, please let me or one of our board members know. We will be having both a morning and afternoon session this year for the first time since the pandemic.   

Our Younger Member Group continues to host happy hours, and the next one will be at Hoops Brewing on February 19th at 5:30 pm. Please also consider 
joining our YMGs for curling and the ethics presentation. Please see the newsletter for more info.    

Please see our scholarship application for the 2025-2026 school year, which is in this newsletter.  We are continuing to provide 3 Scholarships this 
year.  Please forward or send to any applicable students. 

   
Our annual year end appreciation dinner will be held on April 30th at a venue in Duluth that will be decided soon.  I would love to see all of you there to 
recognize our scholarship winners and enjoy a dinner and networking with fellow engineers and students.   

 
Hope to see you on the 17th for our monthly luncheon, and please don’t forget to RSVP.
