The Student Ski Day event organized by the Vermont Section aimed to engage college students from three ASCE Chapters by offering reduced ski passes and a lunch presentation. The event featured a talk by Greg Edwards from Stantec, focusing on essential non-technical skills for engineering and management. The planning involved securing a grant, coordinating with a local ski area, and ensuring a low-cost experience to encourage student participation, resulting in a successful turnout of about 50 attendees in February 2008.
