Ryan ChartrandI would like to express my disappointment that the Society of Civil Engineers (SCE) was not recognized for the club’s highest achievement this year. Early this quarter, 84 civil engineering students competed against 18 other schools in several challenging engineering competitions and placed first in a majority of events, making Cal Poly’s SCE chapter No. 1 in the Western Region. Many students spent countless hours to achieve this victory. As executive vice president of SCE and an engineering representative for the ASI Board of Directors, I would personally like to congratulate all the hard-working engineers that make our College of Engineering so prestigious.
I have informed members of the Mustang Daily numerous times about this achievement, sent in e-mails, and had been told the Daily would follow up, but no action has taken place for more than a month. I hope that in the future SCE will be recognized. Please let me know how I should go about informing the Daily, so the achievements of engineering students will be publicized in the school newspaper.
EDITOR’S NOTE: The Mustang Daily has received multiple complaints similar to this one over the years and our answer is generally the same. All clubs and organizations are more than welcome to submit press releases or e-mails about events, awards and more, but that never guarantees that the information will be printed. It is up to the editor’s judgment what is newsworthy and pertinent, and we appreciate our readers understanding that.
