President’s Message – February 2021
When I made the decision during my college years to major in Civil Engineering, I had no idea how rewarding and enjoyable my chosen profession would be. In addition, joining as a member of ASCE and eventually serving in multiple roles with ASCE has given me the opportunity to meet and network with several Civil Engineer’s who share the same passion an enjoyment with their careers. While there are days with stress and frustration, I am constantly grateful for falling into this profession. With the first month of the year and the holidays behind us do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and less impassioned when coming to work on a daily basis? For me personally, January can certainly do this to me, but I know things get better as we move later into the year. I would challenge us all to find those small joys and look for opportunities to share our passion. One way to do this in February would be to volunteer during Engineer’s Week (E-Week), scheduled for February 21st – 27th. This is a great way to share what your passion and possibly introduce students to the possibilities of the Engineering profession. I encourage anyone interested to reach out to their local ASCE branches to see how they can participate. In keeping with the theme I started last month I again wanted to highlight another Civil Engineering project in Arizona. My thanks to Chelsi Remme, Southern Arizona Branch President, for sharing this brief article from a virtual tech tour that they held back in September.
