The American Society of Civil Engineers was founded in 1852 and is dedicated to advancing the professional knowledge and improving the practice of civil engineering. The New Orleans Branch was later founded in 1962 and serves more than 770 members in Southeast Louisiana. Our branch regularly provides engineers with Professional Development Hours via regular branch luncheon meetings, evening seminars and by co-hotsing the Louisiana Civil Engineering Conference & Show with ACI each fall in Kenner, Louisiana. As a secondary function, the branch supports several local outreach programs to encourage students to participate in the math and science activities and promote civil engineering to the general public.

Dear ASCE – New Orleans Branch Member, In my last communication regarding the CEE program at the University of New Orleans, I tried to layout the potential risks to the program brought on by state wide budget cuts to higher education. I encouraged everyone that is concerned for the program to contact the university Chancellor, Dr. Timothy P. Ryan, and the Dean of the College of Engineering, Dr. Russell E. Trahan to provide proof to the University officials that the civil engineering community needs and supports the College and the CEE Department. I believe this task has been at least partially achieved… In responses to my own letter to the University from Dr. Ryan and Dr. Trahan, I believe the message is being received loud and clear, although I would encourage anyone that has not communicated their concerns and support to still do so. |
