A Message from your 2019—2020 CSCE President
Dear CSCE Members,
INSIDE THIS ISSUE:
I hope everyone had a safe, restful, and connective holiday season! My wife, three young kids and
myself made the most out of Christmas and New Year’s Eve despite a bad stomach bug…not
Upcoming CSCE Events 5 exactly part of the original plans to say the least!
Younger Members Event 7
We have exciting meetings planned for the next two months! First, David Jacobs, P.E., F.ASCE
Employment Opportunities 12 will be speaking on Railroad Bridges on January 28 at the Yale Graduate Club in New Haven.
Second, I am very excited about the February 11 meeting at Quinnipiac University where Ellen
Ornato and Jenny Drescher from The Bolder Company will speak on “Raising Your Emotional
Intelligence, Lower Your Stress”. This will not be your average CSCE dinner meeting –
participants will interact, engage, and get to know people in the crowd who you probably see at
dinner meetings, but never get a chance to speak to! We hope to give the participants new skills
and something valuable to take back home and work.
http:// As always, CSCE is encouraging and accepting new volunteers. If you are interested in
volunteering on a CSCE committee or technical institute, please reach out to us via email or talk
sections.asce.org to us at the next event. I have had a wonderful time serving on the CSCE Executive Board and
/connecticut/ Geo-Institute committees over the past few years and would encourage any of you to participate!
Sincerely,
Benjamin Cote, P.E., M. ASCE
