The University of Florida Student Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers has placed first overall for the past 5 out of 7 years in the Southeast Regional Conference. This is quite an achievement considering our ASCE team outscored over twenty other engineering schools from Puerto Rico, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. Our Steel Bridge Team has attended the national steel Bridge Competition every year, giving the University of Florida national recognition. Last March, the 2003 ASCE Southeast Regional Conference was hosted by Florida International University and University of Miami! Of the 14 competitions, we brought home 11 trophies, including a first place victory for the steel bridge team, qualifying them for the national competition in San Diego in May. In competition with 23 schools from the Southeast United States, Puerto Rico, and the Netherlands, we finished second overall, with the largest group representing, totaling 76-people strong.

We are very proud of the team members who helped make UF successful at this year's ASCE Conference. Our team's success is a result of the hard work and dedication of our students and faculty and the generosity of our sponsors. Your contributions laid the groundwork for this year's achievement, and we hope we can count on your support next year.

The Regional Conference has grown to be our student chapter's biggest endeavor. Each student works hard throughout the year preparing for this annual event. While conference is the most popular activity that we participate in, it is also the most expensive. Our costs include the extra money needed for each of our 11 teams (60-70 students) to complete their design and fabrication, registration fees, hotel accommodations, and travel expenses. This year our goal is to win, and we wouldn't be able to accomplish our goals without the generous donations, help, and support from the professional engineering community and you. Please pass this letter on to your company so that others may have the chance to support Gator Civil Engineering.

For your help and support of GATOR CIVIL ENGINEERING, we would like to offer you something in return. When you help to sponsor the Gators in their quest to win yet again, there are several things that we will do as part of our appreciation. If you decide to sponsor our teams, your name and company website will appear on a special conference sponsors page, accessible to the hundred of engineers, professors, students, friends, and parents what will access our conference home page. In addition, you will receive a conference T-shirt and a copy of the special conference edition of our newsletter, The Blueprint.

We appreciate your support of the University of Florida Student Chapter of ASCE. We look forward to making our conference experience memorable for you. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or comments regarding the 2003 Conference. Once again, thank you for helping establish a winning tradition at the University of Florida.
