The Mighty Guard of St. Pat
Since 1920 when the TCM Day tradition began, all participants who completed the day's activities become part of the ever-growing Mighty Guard of St. Pat. The Guard is the blood line that keeps the tradition alive every year to make TCM Day happen. Over the decades, records of the Guard have been kept, but if you know somebody who is a TCM Green Card holder and should be on this list, please email eslc@utep.edu with their name and year they participated.
St. Pat Nominations and Theme
As part of the annual TCM Day, one senior engineering student is voted to be St. Pat. As St. Pat, the duties are to participate in designated engineering events throughout the year (e.g., Homecoming Breakfast) but more importantly to lead the Mighty Guard on TCM Day starting with a grand entrance called The Coming of St. Pat. All College of Engineering faculty, staff and students are encourage to contribute to the nomination process.
The tradition of selecting the year’s theme has been done by St. Pat since 1997. The theme drives participants to create costumes and contribute to the year’s t-shirt design but also promotes creativity to rethink what the honored St. Pat, the patron saint of all engineers, looks like.
