Student Chapters
The Section is deeply committed to empowering and uplifting Student Chapters throughout our region. We are proud to support the vibrant student community at St. Martin's University in Olympia—one of our Section’s outstanding student organizations. Stay connected with them and learn more about their activities by visiting their Facebook page here.
We’re also excited to cheer on the University of Washington – Tacoma as they build their presence in the civil engineering community. Although UWT is not yet an official ASCE student chapter, their Statement of Intent was approved by the ASCE’s Committee on Student Members last fall! The UWT chapter is now in its “establishing period,” and we are eager to support them as they prepare for full application in September. If all goes well, we look forward to celebrating their official chapter status in late October or early November 2026. You can visit their website to learn more about our latest student chapter.
The ASCE Tacoma-Olympia Section is here to encourage, guide, and champion both our current and emerging student leaders every step of the way!
Washington Infrastructure Report Card
Ever wondered how Washington’s roads, bridges, and other vital systems really measure up? The Washington Infrastructure Report Card is a dynamic, in-depth evaluation released by ASCE. Dedicated volunteers from all four Washington sections—Tacoma-Olympia, Seattle, Columbia, and Inland Empire—put their expertise to work, thoroughly assessing the state’s infrastructure. Their findings are published as easy-to-understand grades for each system, helping the public and decision-makers understand where we’re thriving and where improvement is needed.
The most recent report was unveiled in 2019 and can be explored through the provided link. Volunteers are hard at work this year (2026) preparing an update, so stay tuned for the latest insights on Washington’s infrastructure! If you are interested in working on this critical report, please contact us at [email protected].
