On June 17, we joined American Society of Highway Engineers (ASHE) - Delaware Valley Section YMC, MASITE (Mid-Atlantic Section of Institute of Transportation Engineers, and Young Professionals in Transportation (YPT) - Philadelphia to host the 3rd annual Kickball Tournament and Summer Picnic. About 30 young engineers gathered for a day filled with fun, kickball, and networking. Thank you to leaders in each organization for orchestrating this summer event that has become one we look forward to every year!

Earlier this spring students from the CivE Club at the Marian Anderson Neighborhood Academy took a tour of Amtrak at 30th Street Station. Thank you to the folks at Amtrak for your time and for hosting the CivE Club!

PhilaPort, also known as the Port of Philadelphia, stands as the fastest growing container port along the U.S. East Coast. This tour will offer an overview of its facilities, focusing on the terminals where ships are loaded and unloaded, as well as a glimpse into design and construction projects. If we are lucky, we may even see a ship! This tour includes a 30-minute presentation at PhilaPort’s main office (3460 N Delaware Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19134), followed by a 2-hour round trip bus tour. Attendees will have access to the office’s restrooms during the presentation; however, the tour bus does not have a restroom and it is not ADA accessible. Attendees must have a valid ID. The tour will be followed by a social hour with food/beverages courtesy of Philly YMF at Gaul & Co. Malt House Port Richmond. This event has a 20 person maximum capacity.
