The NC State student chapter of American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) hosted students from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC) and Duke University’s ASCE student chapters for a field day event last October. The event, held on NC State’s Centennial Campus, included yard games such as cornhole, spikeball, freeze tag and volleyball.

The event was put on to create community among the North Carolina student chapters of ASCE. A similar event was hosted in the fall of 2022 and included students from NC State and UNCC. This event was expanded in 2023 to include all North Carolina student chapters.

“It was so great to meet people from different schools whom we usually only get to see once a year at the symposium,” said Ellie Reimer, who is majoring in civil engineering. “Strengthening the bonds between student chapters of ASCE helps us continue to grow and improve our chapter and build a community among North Carolina schools. I hope this event will continue in the future.”
