It's not only National Engineers Week, it's also the federal holiday known as Washington's Birthday! George Washington's Birthday is celebrated the 3rd Monday of February. Washington, an engineer, also appointed the first engineer officers of the Army on June 16, 1775, during the American Revolution, and engineers have served in combat in all subsequent American wars. Our team is made up of some of the nation’s best engineers, scientists and leaders. We are proud to have played a critical role in America's growth and prosperity.

Join us next week as we honor the United States Military Academy at West Point Class of 2025 cadets entering the Army Engineer Regiment. The event is scheduled to take place on 12 February 2025 at Eisenhower Hall on West Point’s campus. Social will begin at 1745 with dinner and the formal program beginning at 1900. We are honored to have BG Kirk E. Gibbs, Deputy Commanding General for Military and International Operations for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, be our guest speaker this year. This year we will also be hosting a pre-event from 1630-1730 where two regional leaders of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) will participate in a panel discussion with Cadets, faculty, and industry leaders centered on USACE’s current opportunities and upcoming projects. All are welcome to attend the panel discussion which serves as the shaping event for the Engineer Celebration taking place afterward from 1745-2130 at Eisenhower Hall. If you would like to sponsor and register for the Engineer Celebration, please use the following link.?https://lnkd.in/eFATpBxN Hosted by the Society of American Military Engineers NYC Post and The Army Engineer Association.

Happy New Year SAME?? During 2024, our members got things started by Finding the Value in the great variety of programs, events, and activities the Society offers, then Being the Value for others to experience: https://bit.ly/3BR4QLY As we hit the midpoint and set sights on breaking records in the second half of the year, we committed to Sharing the Value with even more people inside and outside SAME. Together, it all added up to a rewarding year of impact, building momentum toward the launch of our next strategic plan in 2025. To all our members, partners, and stakeholders who come together through SAME to make a difference for our nation and our profession, thanks for everything that you do to make SAME the best professional association in the world! #SAMEcelebrates

Happy Holidays SAME?? Thank you to all of our amazing members finding, being, and sharing the value all year long!

On November 2, 2024, NYU Tandon School of Engineering Civil and Urban Engineering professors Magued Iskander, Mohamad Awada, Kaan Ozbay, Lawrence Chiarelli, and Semiha Ergan joined peers and industry leaders at the 2024 Society of American Military Engineers' Fletcher H. “Bud” Griffis Scholarship Fund Dinner Dance, held at the stunning Cipriani South Street in New York City. This remarkable event benefits the S.A.M.E. NY Post Scholarship Fund, which has provided over $6 million in scholarships to nearly 6,000 aspiring engineers and architects since 1955. Last year alone, more than 200 scholarships were awarded to students from 75 colleges and universities across the U.S., investing in the next generation of innovators dedicated to shaping our built environment. A special thank you to our faculty for representing NYU Tandon and the Civil and Urban Engineering department and contributing to the empowerment of future leaders in our field!

At E.E. Cruz, we take pride in improving infrastructure and giving back to our community in the New York City Metropolitan Area. In November, Turner Construction Company-E.E. Cruz Battery Park Resiliency joint-venture team members attended the Fletcher H. "Bud" Griffis Scholarship Fund Dinner Dance where they were presented the Society of American Military Engineers ‘Contractor of the Year’ Award. In addition to receiving this accolade, the joint-venture team sponsored a portion of the event - making an impactful contribution to the scholarship fund. This annual event benefits the New York City Post Society of American Military Engineers Scholarship Fund - enabling the program to continue to serve local youth who aspire to pursue careers in engineering and architecture.? #HeavyCivilConstruction #NewYork #CareersInEngineering
