From Dr. Isaiah Surbrook (Assistant Dean, Engineering Student Services)

Dear Herff College of Engineering Community,

Welcome back! We are excited to kick off another great year at the Herff College of Engineering and to welcome both our returning students and the newest members of the Herff family.

To celebrate the start of the fall semester, we have several Herff Welcome Week activities planned. Whether you have five minutes between classes or want to stay awhile, we hope you’ll stop by, have some fun, meet new people, and start the year with us!

📸 Monday, August 24 | First Day of Classes Selfie Booth
10:00 AM–1:00 PM | EA 2nd Floor Lobby

It’s the first day of classes—capture the moment! Stop by our wedding-style photo booth by yourself or grab some friends and take your first photo of the new school year. You’ll leave with a printed copy of your photo!

🎨 Tuesday, August 25 | Craft Your Success
10:00 AM–2:00 PM | EA 302A – Peer Tutoring Center

Take a break between classes and get creative! Drop by our Peer Tutoring Center for a come-and-go craft extravaganza. While you’re there, you can also check out the space and learn where to find tutoring help when you need it this semester.

🍔 Wednesday, August 26 | Party on the Patio
11:00 AM–1:00 PM | Engineering Courtyard

Join us for lunch in the courtyard! Grab a hamburger or hot dog, meet representatives from our engineering student organizations, connect with other students, and learn about ways to get involved in Herff beyond the classroom.

There is a lot happening at Herff this year, and Welcome Week is just the beginning. We hope you’ll take advantage of these opportunities to connect with your fellow students, faculty, and staff and make the Herff College of Engineering your home on campus.

We are excited to have everyone back and can’t wait to see what our Herff Engineers accomplish this year.

Welcome back and Go Tigers Go!

This year, Herff College of Engineering is making an exciting change by expanding Engineering Day to two events for the first time ever.

Herff will welcome students in grades 3-8 for a special Fall eDay on October 23, 2026, marking the first time that Herff has hosted two eDay events in one academic year. The special event follows Herff's February eDay which saw more than 700 students from across the Mid-South take part in dozens of competitions, activities and demonstrations.

Those competitions will once again be offered in October to our younger students and walk-up STEM activities will be available for all to enjoy.

Competitions at Herff's Fall 2026 eDay will include MLGW's A Blazing Race, Coding Challenge, Egg Drop, Flash Build, Transportation K'Nex Challange, Penny Boat, Spaghetti Structure and Artificial Grasping Hands.

Learn more about those competitions here.
