Engineering: Catapults and Football Games


The entire community has been extremely social and building great friendships since day one! In the month of September, we had our LLC Kickoff event and our community had a great turnout of 45 residents. They were given a time frame of 15 minutes to build catapults out of 20 popsicle sticks, two arm lengths of tape, a spoon, a handful of rubber bands, and a marshmallow as a projectile. Also, to make it even better we had 4 special guests! The Dean of the College of Engineering Brett Peters, The Associate Dean of the College of Engineering Ethan Munson, Professor Daniel Beller, and South Tower RLC Kristi Preston attended the ENTIRE event! They chatted with the groups while they were bringing their creative designs to reality. Overall the best group shot the marshmallow about 20 feet and won a free Engineering T-shirt! 

Furthermore, we held the Bears vs. Packers game and had another stunning number of 23 residents show up! The atmosphere was exciting and competitive and brought together even Bears and Packers fans! Then the 11th floor had their walkover to the Industry Expo to introduce them to the exciting atmosphere of 221 employers there to hire current UWM engineers to internships or even full-time jobs! Those that went were pleased with the experience and gained valuable information for when they attend the next Industry Expo in the Spring to possibly attain their own internship! Overall, we are extremely excited for what is to come this year for our LLC!
