2016 ASME Golf Outing
ASME held our second annual golf outing at Glenway Golf Course this September! We had 36 student golfers participate and golf with our seven sponsoring companies. This event was a fantastic opportunity for students to meet recruiters in an informal environment the Sunday before the career fair. Following the team-scramble-round of golf, we had the rest of the afternoon to eat lunch, give away prizes, and get to know each other. Everyone had a blast and we cannot wait to host this amazing event again next fall!

ASME says goodbye and congratulations to our seniors!
This
past Friday, over forty ASME’rs and friends gathered at Vilas park to play some
kickball and grill out as a goodbye to our graduating seniors. We got to the
park by three and were playing kickball by four. After darkness rolled in, we
moved the group to Ben and Aaron’s house and continued the good times. The
event was a ton of fun (despite our lack of condiments for the burgers and hot
dogs, sorry guys!) and was a great way to celebrate the end of another semester
and wish our graduating seniors’ well for the future!

Those
of us sticking around for another year or more got together and surprised our
graduates, each sporting a party hat with an embarrassing photo of a senior of
them (except for Chad, who just always looks so good in pictures that no one
had an embarrassing photo of him. Instead, Henry wore Jeremy Renner on his
hat).
ASME’s Annual trip to a Milwaukee Brewers game!
This
April, ASME made our annual trip to Miller Park for a Milwaukee Brewers game!
We had a full bus of forty-five students and friends in attendance for the day
and had a ton of fun! We got to Miller park a few hours before the start of the
game and had a great time grilling out and hanging out. Grillmaster Emmett
served up some great hot dogs and hamburgers without the use of spatula
and we had a great spread of chips, dips, and other snacks (minus the
guacamole…. My bad guys!). Throughout the course of the afternoon, ASME’rs
enjoyed some friendly competition over bags, chatted with our awesome and
interesting bus driver, Chris, and overall had a great time despite the almost
freezing April weather.
We
headed into the game as the sun was going down, pretty quickly after the start.
From this point, the group split with some of us headed into Friday’s to enjoy
some appetizers while watching the game before heading to our seats. We stayed
for the end of the game and cheered the Brewers on until the end! Though
unfortunately we caught their only loss to the Astro’s in the series, we still
had an amazing afternoon in Milwaukee!

ASME First Annual Ski Trip!
This
past February, ASME held its first ever (in recent memory) ski trip! We had a
great turnout for the event - twenty-six ASME’rs and friends headed out to
Tyrol Basin for a Friday afternoon on the slopes. Our skill levels ranged from
complete beginner to very experienced skiers and snowboarders and regardless of
prior knowledge, everyone in attendance had snow much fun!
We
met at the Engineering Centers Building and carpooled to Tyrol basin, arriving
around 3:30pm and skiing or snowboarding by 4. A couple of our new skiers and
snowboarders took advantage of Tyrol’s free lessons while those of us who were
a bit out of practice got a tip (or twenty) from more experienced attendees
(thanks guys!). I was in the latter group and had a good wipe out or two before
really finding my footing. We stayed at Tyrol and skied until 9PM with one
short break for cheese curds and fries and left completely worn out from all
the skiing and laughs. Overall, it was a very successful ski trip and we look
forward to continuing the event in the future!

Pi Mile run
Pi mile run is an annual event organized for the 14th of March (3.14). The student chapter of Engineering honor Society of Tau Beta Pi organizes this run to support the guide dog association of Wisconsin. Pi run is famous for its Pi, Puppies and prizes available at the race
This year pi mile run was organized on the first weekend of April. In spite of it being in April, due to bad weather situation not all of the runners showed up, however, the final run proceeded as planned. This year close to 100 participants ran in the 5k and 10k races.
The volunteers for ASME played a pivotal role in the smooth organization of the run. We had duties of race path guides, bag check, on the day registration, runner check in and prize distribution. Close to $2000 were raised and donated to Occupaws guide dog. The runners as well as the volunteers enjoyed the race which ended with a raffle of left over prices.
