MU engineering students annually participate in Engineers Week, a week-long celebration of their patron saint, St. Patrick. First celebrated in 1903, “E-Week’ has grown to include a benefit concert, a scavenger hunt, a quiz bowl, and a casino night. This year, E-Week began Friday, March 11 with a ceremony to light Jesse Hall green and ran through Saturday, March 19. The week ended with one of E-Week’s oldest traditions: a Ball Banquet, which featured the coronation of the E-Week King and Queen.

Jesse Hall glowed green every night last week in honor of Engineering Week 2011.
 

Seniors Davis McDonald and Brandon Smith stood at the side of the Knighting Ceremony stage, where St. Patrick knighted graduating engineering students. Each student kissed the blarney stone while St. Patrick tapped them on the shoulder with his walking stick, dubbing them Honorary Knights of St. Patricks’ Court.




Seniors Kyle Sellers and Shannon Felker were voted King of Valor and Wit and Queen of Love and Beauty during the Coronation Ceremony at the St. Pat’s Ball Banquet and Alumni Association Casino Night.
