What do we do? … ALL THE THINGS! These past few weeks the Engineering Society has had great success with the Exchange Potluck, 2014 Year Spirit Party, TF2 and Diablo LAN Parties, Coffee House, Skydiving, Alumni Golf Tournament and TalEng, the engineering talent show! A big shout-out goes to our wonderful directors who organize these events! Be sure to keep an eye out for the events being run these next few weeks on the events calendar below. There is definitely something for everyone!
So some of you may be wondering, “Why haven’t I heard about any of these events? I would have loved to participate in them if I knew they were happening!” Well there are multitudes of ways to find out what is happening in the Engineering Society!
