  • Best of Show Winner: Leah Goetzel Title: “40 Acres of Water”
    Best of Show Winner: Leah Goetzel Title: “40 Acres of Water” Leah Goetzel took her first photography class last year as a sophomore at Austin High School. When her dad, Dwayne, a UT Law School Alumnus, sent her the link to the Texas Exes Austin Chapter’s H2Orange photo contest she jumped at the chance to participate. Leah, whose interests include languages (French and Spanish), writing and photography knew she wanted to capture the H2Orange bottle on the South Mall. With some help from her dad (he threw the bottle), Leah captured a compelling image of the bottle flying over the Littlefield fountain which earned our Best of Show prize including a Darrell Royal, Earl Campbell autographed football. “The big challenge was getting the logo in the shot,” says Leah, “and we got some funny looks while my Dad was throwing the bottle.” Congratulations to Leah for taking home our top honor! Sports Winner: Katherine and Michael Fan Title of "Bowling for the Championships" Katherine and Michael Fan met while attending school at UT. Katherine was finishing her undergraduate degree as a photojournalism major and Michael was attending law school. The Fans love UT football and were eager to showcase their newly acquired case of H2Orange. Michael, inspired by his desire to see the Longhorns bring another Bowl championship home soon thought of using the H2Orange bottles as bowling pins. The idea for “cantaloupe bowling” was born. “Cantaloupes, although pleasantly orange on the inside (just like us), are not perfectly round (again, just like us)! So in order to get a successful bowling shot, we had to do a couple dozen takes.

  • Tau Beta Pi Chapter Project Report Texas Alpha Chapter Fall 2017 to Spring 2018
    Tau Beta Pi Chapter Project Report Texas Alpha Chapter Fall 2017 to Spring 2018 1 Executive Summary The Tau Beta Pi Texas Alpha Chapter at the University of Texas at Austin initiated 40 Tau Beta Pi candidates into our chapter during the 2017-2018 academic year. These members showed integrity and excellence in engineering through the completion of fifteen candidate requirements in tandem with maintenance of outstanding scholastic and extracurricular achievements. Some of those requirements include attending participating in five chapter social events, completing six hours of community service with the chapter, contributing three hours to internal chapter activities like fundraising, and attending at least one fireside hosted by a distinguished faculty member in the Cockrell School of Engineering. This chapter report contains a summary of all 122 events sponsored by our chapter that our candidates participated in. Our diligent, semester long initiation process is designed to insure that our candidates are honorable engineers and not just high-GPA students. The social events provide opportunities for our candidates to develop interdepartmental connections with other high-achieving Cockrell School of Engineering students in the Texas Alpha chapter. Firesides allowed those candidates to connect with, glean valuable insights from and obtain career advice from professors outside a traditional academic setting. Furthermore, our most committed, stressed, and important requirement is the fulfillment of at least nine hours of community service. Although six hours does not seem like a lot, it can become a challenge as our candidates learn to balance TBP activities and their engineering course load during the initiation process. The goal of the community service hours is to motivate our candidates to help the community we all live in, whether it is helping to feed and interact with homeless people, cleaning up our local parks, or tutoring middle schoolers in STEM subjects.
