The combined spring BBQ with the chemical and material science (CHMS) engineering department was a success, with around 30-35 people showing up at West Manor Park. The number of faculty present could have been higher, though poor faculty showing was probably because of the timing of the BBQ. BESA could plan the spring BBQ next time for a weekend before finals week, and more people would be able to fit it into their schedules. Moreover, the CHMS department could have been contacted a few months in advance, and they could have encouraged their faculty and students to try and make it to the event.
The weather on the 13th was great, though it was a little windy. Some students and faculty brought their families along, and it was great to see everybody having a good time. Dr. Tonya Kuhl brought some wiffleball gear along and encouraged people to participate in a BME vs CHMS game. The game was pretty exciting with BME leading until the last innings, when CHMS overtook BME and won! No worries, we’ll get ‘em next time!
