Department Open House

On September 17th, four SEEn members answered question about SEEn and the department to prospective students and their families. It looks like we recuited at least 4 or 5 new environmentals.

Fall Adopt-a-Highway

On September 11th, four brave souls went out to our strech of highway north of McLain State Park. Notable finds included a tupperware dish with lid, sock, and a plastic dog head toy. It was a beautiful late summer day and a good time was had by all.

Fall BBQ

On September 3th we had our Annual Fall BBQ in the DOW courtyard. This year ASCE and XE joined SEEn making this our biggest BBQ yet. There was a great turnout of old and new faces, including a large number of first-year students...who will hopefully get involved after seeing what we are really about. Hamburgers and brats were expertly grilled by ASCE..

Events from previous years

Lake Superior Map Paint-In

A few SEEn members joined forces during the month of March to create 9' by 12' canvas maps of Lake Superior for local elementary schools. Playing with paint and eating free food . . . what could be more fun than that?

SEEn Christmas Party

Early in December, SEEn hosted its annual Christmas party at Dr. Paterson's house. We had a great turnout and spent the night having lots of fun decorating a Christmas tree, exchanging gifts, and playing games.

Student Presentations Night

Student presentation night was held after a brief meeting on October 18th, 2001. Presentations were given on Kohler corporation, Argonne National Lab, and the Appalachian Trail.
On October 5th, 2000 SEEn hosted the 3rd annual Student Presentations Night. Free subs and beverages were provided. We listened to Environmental Engineers while they gave presentations on their summer experiences and learned where to look for the best jobs for next summer!

Field Trip!

Ten SEEn and MWEA members took a field trip to Sault Ste. Marie at the end of September 2001. We met a civil engineer from Michigan Tech at the Soo Locks and got an explanation of how things worked there. We also got a tour of the LSSU Aquatic Lab. We spent some time hiking and camping at Tahquamenon Falls on the return to Houghton.

At the end of September 2000 we went on a field trip to Duluth, MN along with MWEA. We visited a wastewater treatment plant, an EPA research lab, viewed the drinking water treatment at a State Park, and visited the brand new Great Lakes Aquarium. We had a great time and learned a lot!

On September 22nd (2001), we took a group of SEEn members out to our Adopt-a-Highway site north of Hancock. It was a beautiful day to be outside. We picked up a lot of trash and then headed out for pizza at a restaurant in Hancock.
On September 17th (2000), SEEn took a trip out to their Adopt-a-Highway site north of Hancock. Our group of 15 people had a great time finding interesting items on the side of the road. Our best finds this year were the top half of an action figure, a mustang hood ornament, a ceramic boot, and a record titled . . . "Shake Ya Ass"!
Afterwards, we went to Mancino's for some really good pizza :)

Fall BBQ
On September 6th, 2001 we had our fall BBQ in the DOW courtyard at 5:00pm. The weather was great and the students interested in joining had a chance to meet current SEEn members, eat some free food, and find out about our upcoming events for the fall.

We managed to brave the gale force winds for our BBQ during the second week of school (2000). A large group of us headed out to Chutes and Ladders for our first meeting and some really good food :) Part of my hamburger was stolen by a seagull, but there was plenty of food to go around. We had a lot of good ideas and lots of great people and we are looking forward to another fun year!

Earth Week 2000
We decided to be really involved in Earth Week this year . . . things were kind of thrown together at the last minute, but everything went smoothly. With the help of some grant money from GM, we passed out hundreds of earth stress balls and magnets to students that filled out a recycling survey.
We also hosted a movie night where we showed A Civil Action and gave away some really good door prizes.

Field Trip
Seven members of SEEn took a field trip in the spring to the Lienenkeugals brewery in Chippewa Falls, WI. We spent the night at Dan's cabin and went to the brewery the next day. It was definately a change from touring wastewater treatment plants, but most of us weren't old enough to sample the beer :( We also got to see the World's Largest Musky (a really big fish . . .) and the World's Tallest Indian!

Meeting Times to come!
