FROM THE ISB PRESIDENT

Hudson Schneider
ISB President, 2024–2025

The International Student Branch (ISB) team is happy to share with you a recap of our recent work! We hope to make your undergraduate programming for ASABE a more interactive experience and boost engagement within the Society.

Last weekend, four of the team members traveled to the ASABE headquarters, in St. Joseph, Michigan, for the annual officers’ retreat.

Despite delays in travel due to an unexpected winter weather advisory across most of America we were able to enjoy snowy Michigan.

The team planned socials and meetings for the upcoming annual international meeting (AIM) this July. If you are interested in joining the ISB team, make sure to attend the AIM events and reach out to one of our members.

We are also planning two virtual events for this spring. The first will be a rally planning event so that ideas can be shared among regions. We will also be holding a Member Hour event where all undergraduates are welcome to attend and connect with other members. This is a great opportunity for student chapters to gain new ideas for their chapters and help each other grow.

We are excited for the upcoming opportunities for undergraduate students, so continue to check your email for updates!
