Activities throughout the year include a Leaf Rake, Fall and Spring Trips, ASABE Conferences, basketball concession stands, as well as socials. |
Description of Special Events
| Welcome-Back BBQ is open to all within the Ag and Biosystem Engineering Department as well as new and interested members of the ABE departmental clubs. ASABE typically grills for the event. |
| Fall Trip is planned by the Events Committee to provide members with industry tours in fields related to the work that they will be doing post-graduation. It is also a great social event for members. |
| Fall Leaf Rake is the largest of the the ASABE fundraisers. Members of the Ames community contact the club to have leaves raked and removed from their yards. |
| Spring Trip is similar to the fall trip but tends to coincide with the ASABE Midwest Rally and is often dictated by the location of that event. Social events, networking, and industry tours are a big part of the trip |
| Sukup Classic is 9 holes of miniature golf designed and constructed by members of the exec team around Sukup and Elings Halls. This event replaces one general meeting in the fall and is open to members and invited guests. |
