Student Chapter
2019 Quarter Three Newsletter
Throughout the fall semester the students from
our ASCE Student Chapter have been working
hard in all of their classes, internships, and
with their extra-curricular and professional
activities. This is our third quarter newsletter
for the 2019 calendar year used to update
parents, alumni, and friends on what our
chapter is working on to better ourselves and
the community through our involvement with
ASCE.
2020 Deep South
Conference Preparation Our Student chapter is excited and has already
been working tirelessly to prepare for the 2020
Deep South Conference which will be held on
April 2nd - 4th and hosted by Jackson State
University in Jackson, MS. Our chapter will be
led by our Chapter President Luis Camarillo,
Concrete Canoe Captain Sarah Swain and our
Steel Bridge Captains Grettio Rivas, Sarah Fong,
and Amanda Dutra. We are extremely excited to
see what our chapter can accomplish this year at
conference!
TN Engineers Conference and
West TN Branch Kickoff
Several of our students and faculty members
attended the West TN Branch kickoff dinner
meeting, held at the University of Memphis, as
well as the TN Section meeting in Franklin, TN.
At both of these events, our Chapter President
Luis Camarillo presented to audiences of several
hundred civil engineering professionals on the
state of our student chapter. We also recognize
our very own Professor McGinnis, P.E. for his
service as President for the past year of the West
TN Branch of ASCE. He currently serves in the
role of Past President of the West TN Branch.
Recruiting and
Alumni Outreach
Over Fall Break, Dr. Assadollahi and civil
engineering students Ricardo Velasquez (c/o
2021) and Rosa Santana Ponce (c/o 2022) made
a trip to St. Louis, MO to visit Christian Brothers
College High School (CBCHS) for an
engineering recruiting trip. CBCHS graciously
hosted our representatives and we were able to
reach out to over 80 of their students on October
15th and 16th. On Monday October 14th, our
faculty and students had the opportunity to
connect with CBU Civil Engineering alumnus
Lee Cannon, PE, PTOE who is a professional
engineer and Principal at CBB Transportation
Engineering and Planners. Mr. Cannon
graduated from CBU in Civil Engineering in 1992.
Special Thanks
Our chapter would like to give special thanks to
Mr. Richard Gadomski, P.E.! Mr. Gadomski
graduated from CBU (CBC at the time) in 1962
with his BS in Engineering Chemistry. Mr.
Gadomski has made several large donations in
the forms of both his time and resources to the
School of Engineering over the decades. In fact,
our School of Engineering was recently named
the Gadomski School of Engineering. Our
ASCE Student Chapter as well as hundreds of
other students have benefited from his
generosity. CBU along with the ASCE Student
Chapter is very grateful to have such a supportive
professional. Thank you, Mr. Gadomski!
Featured Alumni
This quarter, our featured alumnus is Mr. Robert
Tworek, E.I. Mr. Tworek graduated from CBU
in Civil Engineering in May 2018 and is currently
working as a Transportation Engineer at Kimley-
Horn. Mr. Tworek has made both resource
donations and time contributions to our student
chapter and our entire department. He has
supported student presentations to provide
feedback on how they can improve self-
representation as well as providing our juniors
and seniors with data they use for their senior
design projects.
