A couple of our members have volunteered their time to ride TCNJ’s loop bus on the weekends. The loop bus provides TCNJ students with transportation to close-by locations such as the movies and the mall. Our members worked to make sure every student was accounted for before the bus left its stop. We thank our members that participated in this service and look forward to helping the TCNJ community again in the near future.
This Valentine’s Day, CEHS hosted a civil engineering love poem competition. We split into teams and our two new pledges were designated to read their team’s poem. The contest was too close to call and Dr. Krstic decided on a tie! Check out some videos and pictures of their performances below:
THE POEM WITH NO NAME
By Team Nick
L is for the live load that you put on my heart
O is for the only major that I love, its art
V is the shear love, so pure
E is for even more work than you can endure
ODE TO THE LABORATORY
By Team Jack
Laboratory, Laboratory, Laboratory (pause)
Wherefore art thou, my Laboratory?
Although it only took me 25 blows, according to the Modified Proctor test
to win your hart,
I promise to never call you dirt (pause dramatically)
You’ll always be soil to me,
As long as we never part.
Oh, Soil, Soil, Soil,
For you, my love will never spoil!

Due to the removal of Armstrong Hall’s cafe, KinetiCart, TCNJ CEHS hosted a coffee sale in the morning. Tommy and Nicole helped out by running the sale before their class!
A welcome back and invitation social was held for all members of the society, including sophomore associate members and two students eligible for new membership. A donut eating competition was held between the seniors, juniors, sophomore associate members, and eligible students. Being outnumbered by many, Nick, who represented our eligible members, came out on top!
On Tuesday, the members of our society gave an informal presentation to freshmen civil-engineering majors about how to “survive” in civil engineering. Each member of the freshmen class was also given a mentor (one of our members) to assist them throughout the semester. We look forward to getting to know our students!

Our junior members were inducted into TCNJ’s Civil Engineering Honors Society this semester. These members have met all of the qualifications and criteria to become a member of our selective society. At the ceremony, family members, trustees, and others all joined in celebration with the initiates. Notably, Mrs. Kemper was able to attend the ceremony and give a lovely speech to all that attended. We thank Mrs. Kemper for her kind words and support of our society.

Last Monday, Professor Dobbelaar visited TCNJ and met with our current members and Executive Board. Professor Dobbelaar talked to us about what we can improve on as a society and shared his valuable experiences with us. He was kind enough to help out our society in more ways than one. Our members enjoyed showing Professor Dobbelaar around the Civil Engineering facilities that TCNJ has to offer.
Civil engineering students and faculty celebrated the holidays at our holiday party with free pizza and cookies. Holiday Bingo was also played, where students and faculty won prizes such as candy, chocolates, and festive hand sanitizers.
CEHS participated in the campus-wide event, TCNJ Holiday, this past Tuesday night. Our society came up with a civil-engineering related craft for TCNJ students and faculty to make at the event. People seemed very happy making their very own mini gingerbread houses, especially our advisor, Dr. Krstic!
