The University at Buffalo SEI Graduate Student Chapter made a powerful return in 2024, reestablishing its presence on campus and reconnecting students with the broader structural engineering community. With support from the SEI Futures Fund and departmental backing, the chapter formed a new leadership team, launched a website and LinkedIn presence, and engaged 19 active members throughout the 2024–2025 academic year. Their efforts have sparked renewed energy in student-professional interaction and long-term SEI involvement.

I am going to date myself, but for those of you who remember Hannibal’s iconic line —“I love it when a plan comes together” — it is quite appropriate for me to borrow that quote and apply it to our very own SEI Flood “A- Team”! I would like to thank the team for an outstanding effort during the recent ICC Committee Action Hearings.

The Structural Engineering Institute (SEI) recently held a leadership training and orientation workshop in collaboration with the PEER group, led by Dr. Yvette E. Pearson, P.E., F.ASCE. Dr. Pearson is widely recognized for her expertise in environmental engineering and strategies for enhancing engagement, communication, and collaboration within organizations. The workshop brought together SEI committee leaders and the Board of Governors to explore ways to strengthen SEI’s leadership, improve outreach efforts, and align initiatives with SEI’s long-term strategic goals. Using PEER’s MESA framework—Measure, Evaluate, Strategize, and Act, participants discussed approaches to increasing engagement across the structural engineering profession.

The ASCE/SEI Flood Resistant Design and Construction Standards Committee, chaired by Daniel Thomas Cox, Ph.D., A.M.ASCE, is responsible for developing and maintaining ASCE/SEI 24: Flood Resistant Design and Construction, a standard that serves as a cornerstone for engineers and professionals working in flood-prone areas. By setting clear and rigorous guidelines, the committee ensures that structural designs prioritize public safety and property protection in the face of increasing flood risks due to climate change and rising sea levels.
