Buoy, oh buoy! Columbia Engineering students took the plunge at the annual Engineering Student Council cardboard boat contest. Armed with only cardboard, duct tape, and waterproofing spray, 26 teams took up the challenge of building a floating creation to carry a teammate across Uris Pool. Congratulations to the Promised Pirates, who rowed to victory for bragging rights and the coveted boat contest trophy!
