Rally Fun on the West Coast

We love this rally wrap-up so much we just can't help but share.
ASABE member Ian Nielsen offers a fantastic summary of the recent California/Nevada student rally, hosted by the University of California, Davis. A third-year PhD student at UC Davis, Nielsen served as rally president and offers detailed descriptions of the tours, industry engagement rally attendees enjoyed. You'll be inspired in planning your own chapter activities.
Congratulations to Nielsen and the UC Davis BAE community on pulling off a great event! |

Help Us Stay in Touch!
As a student you're likely living a mobile life, moving from campus, to home, back to campus, off to an internship. Along the way, we want to do our best to keep you informed, using the appropriate channels and in a way that makes you proud to be an ASABE member.
To that end, we've put together a short questionnaire. Would you mind taking a look and giving us your honest feedback? Do so by the end of April and you could snag $50 in ASABE Bucks, to spend on merchandise, meeting registration, or more.
Take the survey. |
