Houston, TX - SUT-US gave its student chapters their annual sponsorship checks this past September during Rice University’s student chapter inauguration. The annual contribution serves as an affirmation of SUT-US’s support to the university student chapters. The chapters of the University of Houston, Texas A&M at College Station, and Texas A&M at Galveston were awarded a check of $4,000 for the 2017-2018 academic year; and the new Rice University student chapter was awarded a check of $5,000. The funds go towards chapter student activities such as professional seminars, one-day workshops, industry visits, poster competitions, and most recently ROV competitions. These annual awards are furnished by the numerous activities and dedicated hours of the SUT-US’s volunteers and staff, demonstrating SUT-US’s dedication to developing the future leaders the Society of Underwater Technology.
