Social Events

In addition to the General Meetings, the LEC hosts a number of social events that are intended to connect students across colleges and communities. For AY 2025-26, this includes industry happy hours, field trips, and outings, many of which are in collaboration with other groups on-campus. We are currently trying to organize a field trip to the Permian Basin in Texas for March 2026 to visit an oil field and learn about oil production and fracking. On the same trip, we are planning a visit to a nearby wind or solar farm to learn about renewable electricity generation. In addition, we are holding a number of outings in Austin for fun that will shape memorable experiences for our members.
