College of Engineering Celebrates TCM Day
ANDREA E. ACOSTA | March 08, 2013
The College of Engineering will be celebrating TCM Day on March 15, 2013. TCM is one of the oldest traditions on campus where students interact with faculty, staff and engineering alumni in a day full of spirited activities and team based-service to support the community.
TCM Day not only honors Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Engineers, but also invites students to learn more about UTEP's roots and other traditions such as the infamous green card, that is a conversation started for those students participating in TCM for the first time, the whitewashing of the 'M' on the mountains, the Coming of St. Pat and kissing the Blarney Stone, which is a ritual that is said to give the gift of eloquence and persuasiveness.
TCM gets Guard candidates involved in community-service that include the cleaning of the arroyo and the donation of canned food items to the El Paso Rescue Mission. Students will be awarded the official Green Card for their participation on TCM Day, being welcomed to join the mighty Guard of St. Pat.
