We sent about 20 students to ATCE in Dubai in the fall. In addition to presenting at the
conference and attending session, the students also made sure to experience many of the things Dubai had to offer, including an overnight desert safari, visiting mosques, going
to the top of the Burj Kahlifa, checking out the Gold and Spice Souks, skiing at the mall
and much more.
One of the undergraduate students is originally from Ethiopia,
so a large group decided to go try Ethiopian food.
The Petrobowl team won regionals virtually, but hopefully we’ll be able
to see them compete in person at ATCE.
