2018 Events

Department Spring Banquet - April

This year's spring banquet was another big success. Our 2017 honorary commodore is Steven Byle. Many alumni and students came to the Michigan League for a night of socializing and honoring their peers. Many left with a paper plate award (or two!) in hand. 

Whirlyball Social Event - April

There was no event as anticipated this semester as the trip to Whirlyball of Ann Arbor! The true competitiveness of Quarterdeck members was on display during the match-ups. Everyone enjoyed pizza and some healthy competition!

Spring Break Ship Trip - March

Many students of the department chose to use their spring break to travel south and visit a new shipyard almost every day. This is an annual trip that the department hosts and it allows our members an amazing look at different parts of the industry, while spending a lot of quality time together!

Buffalo Wild Wings Dinner - February

Quarterdeck members took a weeknight break from their studies to enjoy some delicious wings at Buffalo Wild Wings. This event has become an annual tradition and it was a big hit as usual. 

2018 SNAME Section Meeting - March

16 members of Quarterdeck drove down to Cleveland for the annual meeting of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, Great Lakes Great Rivers Section meeting. It was a great opportunity to meet other students as well as professionals already working in the maritime industry. Members also enjoyed learning about the new autonomous technology being introduced to the field at the technical presentations. 

Quarterdeck Goes Ice Skating - January

Members enjoyed a few hours of open skate at Yost Ice Arena. There was a wide range of skaters, from newbies to very experienced, but everyone who came out had a great time!
