On April 24, TRANSOC hosted a lively mixer that brought together alumni, transportation students, faculty, and local professionals for an evening of connection and celebration.

TRANSOC co-presidents Ameen DaCosta (MS/MCP) and Jacob Champlain (MS/MCP) shared highlights from the past year, including club events, field trips, tours, and professional development opportunities. A standout moment of the evening was the presentation of Guinness World Record certificates to alumni Paul Liu (MCP'24) and Winnie Zhuang (MS/MCP'24) for setting the fastest time to visit all BART stations. Ameen, Jacob, Paul, and Winnie achieved the record on March 9, 2024, with planning support from TRANSOC members, including Mike Santos and Melody Tsao.

The event also featured a brief presentation from Kittelson & Associates, a platinum sponsor of the club.
