The annual ISB social will be held on Sunday, July 28, from 6:00 to 7:00 pm. This will be an opportunity to meet students from other schools. Current ISB officers will also explain their roles and open nominations for officer positions for the 2024-2025 school year. |

The annual business meeting will take place on Tuesday, July 30, from 3:00 to 4:30 pm. This is where new officers will be elected!

Records are made to be broken, right? And sometimes they provide motivation toward further heights.
Such was the case for North Carolina State University, who topped their own best-ever finish, achieved just last year, to take home the 2024 championship trophy in the ASABE International 1/4-Scale Tractor Student Design Competition.
In 2023 the Pack Pullers celebrated a third-place finish, the team's highest finish in their history of competing.
Rounding out the top five finishers in the 2024 contest were runner-up Kansas State University, followed by South Dakota State University, Purdue University, and the University of Missouri. Twenty teams from the U.S. and Canada competed in the 2024 event.
