Mentoring Roundtable Luncheon

The College of Engineering has started a new initiative to recognize Oustanding Mentors of Graduate Students in each Department. ABE-GSA accepted nominations from graduate students and received 6 nominations, each of which included support letters from 3 or more students. ABE is full of wonderful mentors who inspire our graduate students every day. Dr. Abby Engelberth was awarded the ABE Outstanding Mentoring of Graduate Students for 2016! The ABE department generously provided pizza as ABE-GSA organized a roundtable luncheon for Dr. Engelberth to share her mentoring philosophy with students and engage in a discussion on mentoring and life as an early-career faculty member.

Super Bowl Party!

40+ ABE Grad Students + friends turned out to watch the super bowl last night at ‘The Palace’. Thanks to Studie for once again letting ABE crash his apartment – we all had an excellent time!

Soup Kitchen Philanthropy

Our philanthropy chairs, Julia & Josept, have really done a great job of organizing opportunities to give back to the Greater Lafayette community this fall. From reverse trick-or-treating at local hospitals and clean-up of West Lafayette through Winterization, we have ended the semester with two days of volunteering at the Care & Share soup kitchen of Lafayette. Here are some photos!

An Active October for ABE

October has been a very busy month for ABE Students! With intramural sports, our reverse trick-or-treating philanthropy event, and the usual birthday bashes and professional development seminars, we have had a great month!

ABE-GSA Founding Member Elizabeth Casey DeFreese happened to be on-campus at the same time as our meeting, and stopped in to say hi! Always good to see alumni!
