Over the first weekend in April, members of Trine University’s student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers completed a service project to clear brush and trees from stone dams at Pokagon State Park constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). The park hopes to feature the dams by making them more visible from the hiking path. Members of the CCC, which provided jobs during the Great Depression, were stationed at Pokagon between 1934 and 1942 and completed many projects at the park.
Pictured, from left, are T.J. Murphy, assistant professor and ASCE student chapter advisor, and civil engineering majors Evan Holman, Annalise O’Daniel, Reece Soel, Gage Ornduff, Emma Koch, Thaiphi Austria (standing on dam) and Luis Rodriguez.
Twenty-five Trine University students, along with high school students from Angola and Kendallville, learned how learned how drones aid law enforcement during a special presentation on Oct. 20.
At an event offered as part of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Trine University students not only learned about the issues surrounding domestic violence today, but took away insights on how to combat it in the future.
Trine University students, employees and members of the community will have the opportunity to play, watch and create characters for video and board games at the university’s Art of Games event.
