Louisiana Tech University The canoes are back in the water.
The ASCE Concrete Canoe Competition+ returns this summer as an in-person event for the first time since 2019. Students from around the world will travel to Louisiana Tech University June 3-5.
After COVID forced the cancellation of the 2020 competitions and moved the 2021 edition into a virtual format, the 2022 event carries with it the thrill of semi-normalcy.
“Hosting this competition is extremely exciting, and we are very excited to have so many different schools here at Louisiana Tech,” said Louisiana Tech graduating senior and concrete canoe team captain Edward Landry.
“I am extremely relieved to be back in person. COVID lockdowns and other responses have nearly destroyed many student organizations; We are lucky to have such a good student base in our student chapter to continue this competition that we enjoy so much.”
ASCE held 21 student symposia this spring – 18 in person, two virtual, and one as a hybrid event. The Society-wide ASCE Concrete Canoe Competition+ gathers qualifying teams from those symposia in three separate competitions: the ASCE Utility Engineering and Surveying Institute Surveying Competition, the ASCE Sustainable Solutions Competition – Tiny House Challenge, and, of course, the ASCE Concrete Canoe Competition.
“It has been very busy, but we are making it work,” Landry said. “I think we will have a very successful and fun competition.”
