Message-ID: <42AA1C0DC61D934480EA7EAE8F253831087803245E@fceosvr12.fceo.co.franklin.oh.us> Mark your Calendars! 16th Annual ASCE Golf Outing June 22nd!! With spring is full swing that means Golf Season is upon us. Don't forget to mark your calendars and signup for the 16th annual ASCE Central Ohio Section Golf Outing to be held June 22nd, 11:00a.m. at Darby Creek Golf Course. The format is the ever popular 2 person mixed format. For a low entry fee of $70 you get greens fees, cart, driving range, drink tickets, lunch, steak and chicken dinner, beverages, tons of hole and place prizes and lots of "those" pies at the end. This outing has raised almost $25,000 over the years to support the Younger Member Group (our annual chefs at the outing), Civil Engineering Career Day and numerous other programs. This is made possible with the generous sponsorships from many Central Ohio firms and businesses. Please consider being a hole sponsor for $100 or a lunch/dinner/beverage cart sponsor for $250 which includes hole recognition as well. For any questions in regards to sponsorship and/or registering to play, please contact Jim Pajk at 614-525-3021 or email at jpajk at franklincountyengineer.org .

In recent years, our communities were confronted with energy and sustainability challenges. Geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering provides important arsenals to address the challenges in the areas such as sustainable transportation and urban infrastructure systems, geohazards mitigation, development of renewable energy, geological carbon sequestration, and exploration of new energy sources (i.e. shale oil, shale gas), etc. This also presents opportunities to catalyze a new wave of innovations in the Geoengineering profession. The 17th Annual GLGGC will provide a forum for presenting some of these advancements. The emphasis will be towards the theme of energy and sustainability, with emphasize on innovative geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering solutions. The conference sessions will be organized in two major thrusts, each will include two technical sessions, running consecutively, with three or four speakers for each session. With the exception of the keynote speakers, presentations will be limited to approximately 15-20 minutes. Presenters are encouraged but not required to submit a paper of their presentation. It is planned that submitted papers and ppts will be included in the conference proceedings. Papers presented at the conference will be recommended to publish in the ASCE Geotechnical Special Publication, Geotechnical Practical Publication or other publication venue. Graduate students are also invited to prepare a poster presentation and submit a summary of their presentations for the conference proceedings. A CEU of 0.8 will be certified to the conference participants. Keynote lectures by Prof. Vincent Drnevich, Ph.D., P.E., Dist. Mem.

This year?s Spring Technical Seminar provides a full day of technical presentations from Central Ohio?s top transportation professionals. The seminar also provides food, drinks and snacks covering a continental breakfast, mid-morning and afternoon snacks and a full lunch. We have vendor and engineering firm exhibits open during all the breaks and registration times. It is a full day of learning and networking with local transportation professionals. A few registration items to note this year: - 5.25 Hours of PDH credits will be available for this seminar. - The college student rate is discounted again this year.
