September 2024 SEAU Young Member Group Update
By Emily Williamson, YMG Committee Chair
As the new school year has started for the universities in the state, the SEAU YMG is looking forward to partnering with our student liaisons at each university to provide opportunities for the students to engage with the structural engineering community as well as opportunities for the young members of SEAU to learn both technical and soft skills required to be successful in structural engineering. We are planning a couple of events for the fall semester including a presentation on improving project management skills and a networking lunch for students to get connected with professionals in their county.
Looking forward to the spring semester, we plan to host a technical presentation to help provide further education for the young members that will be beneficial to them as they move forward in their careers. Additionally, we are hoping to provide opportunities to attend events partnered with other building industry young member groups to encourage the young members to continue to build their networks within the industry. We aim to provide fun and educational events throughout the year and are always open to suggestions if there is an event or presentation you want to see hosted by the SEAU Young Member Group.
