Tunnel Conference Scholarships – Apply by May 1, 2022

Dear Undergrads,

Time Sensitive: Student applications due May 1

The Underground Construction Association is sponsoring dozens of students to attend the annual tunnel design and construction conference, held this year in Philadelphia, June 19-22, 2022. The conference will take place in person with all appropriate Covid health and safety best practices in place.

This is a FANTASTIC opportunity to learn about civil engineering underground – essentially the integration of geotechnical, structural and construction engineering. The conference program includes lots of presentations on current and recently completed underground projects including road, rail, transit, and water tunnels, urban excavations and space for everything underground. This sector of infrastructure engineering is growing rapidly. The conference will be littered with companies looking to hire full time employees and interns.

Learn more and apply for the attendance scholarships at ucascholarships.secure-platform.com/a

2022 Graduate Climate Conference Held at the UW Pack Forest Conference Center

Hello CEE Grad Students,

Given the importance of climate change research, and the relevance of this topic to many CEE research projects, CEE will contribute funding for the 2022 Graduate Climate Conference to be held at the UW Pack Forest Conference Center. We encourage graduate students working in the broad area of climate change to participate in this conference, which is organized by graduate students for graduate students.


Planning is underway for the sixteenth annual Graduate Climate Conference (GCC), which is scheduled as an in-person conference for the weekend of October 28 – 30, 2022 at the University of Washington Pack Forest Conference Center. The GCC is a conference in which graduate students organize speakers and presentations for graduate students, facilitating interdisciplinary research-related discussions between our peers. Since its inception in 2006, the GCC has steadily grown to reach a broad scope, with participants from the 2021 GCC representing 60 U.S. and international institutions. This is a unique opportunity for graduate students to present and share research on climate-related topics and an excellent way for UW students to gain experience as organizers and leaders while promoting our university within the greater climate change science community.
